One cold night, in a most unlikely corner of Chicago, two teens—both named Will Grayson—are about to cross paths. As their worlds collide and intertwine, the Will Graysons find their lives going in new and unexpected directions, building toward romantic turns-of-heart and the epic production of history’s most fabulous high school musical.
Hilarious, poignant, and deeply insightful, John Green and David Levithan’s collaborative novel is brimming with a double helping of the heart and humor that have won both of them legions of faithful fans.
I hated this book. After reading the summary and many reviews I decided that this book was going to be the ONLY book I was going to bring to the airport for my weekend holiday. That was a bad decision on my part because not only did I get bored with this book but I had no other alternatives so I had to push my way through it and it was painful. There were a few times I just had to put the thing down and let off some steam, which because I was travelling alone meant me talking to myself, and that got quite a few stares from various airport staff. This book literally made me crazy!!
This was the first John Green novel I ever read and now I understand his style of writing but at the time it was just monotonous detail and very little actually going on. It didn't help that it was a collaboration book; I feel like both authors were too afraid to get all up in the other's business so they just went with whatever crossed their minds first and tried to make it work.
The story just wasn't there for me, the characters were too dull and it took a long time for just SOMETHING to happen which frustrated me to the point of really disliking this book. I wasn't aware of the contemporary nature of this story so the fact that there was no genetic lab making twins in the secret of night was really disappointing.
(If it isn't obvious already...) 1 star
