literarylora 's review for:
Will Grayson, Will Grayson
by John Green, David Levithan
I really loved the style of this book. Each author had his very own distinct writing and if I hadn't known that John wrote the odd chapters and David the even, I would have figured it out immediately.
It amazes me how well John and David can write teen characters. They both get into teen's minds and can somehow relay that to the page. There is not only humor and heart to this story, but I think it is important that a huge factor in the story is the fact that technology (IM, email, Facebook, etc) is one of the biggest communication tools teens have today. They so often hide behind their computers and phones and I think that was established in this story without preaching or even mentioning it.
I'm not a huge fan of David Levithan's work, but I did enjoy his chapters. John is my favorite author and he continued to meet my expectations with this book. I enjoyed Paper Towns and Looking for Alaska more, but David's musical really added some whimsy to this book that makes it stick out.
