"This book was very... interesting. Can afield say that I've never read a book quite like it. But I enjoyed it! I've never read a book where the main romance was a gay one, and I've never come across someone so overpoweringly gay as Tiny Cooper. Tiny is an incredibly annoying character, but he is meant to be annoying, so it works out. The storyline and characters are intriguing, and overall I enjoyed this."

" A funny coming of age story about 2 Will Graysons and how their lives cross paths and how important appreciation and truth is to the youth of today. "
— Debi, 2/20/2014" A really good collab, but themes aren't up my alley. :) "
— Raina, 2/12/2014" This book was strange. It is written in two voices. I felt it was too long to discover the second voice. Both characters go through a huge change, but I don't think the story is developed enough to explain the changes. I really like John Green, so I am blaming his co-author. "
— Julie, 2/9/2014" i couldn't remember the last time i have enjoyed a book this much. it made me stray away from the internet! "
— Faith, 2/8/2014" Charming and clever. I liked the picture of highschool students as deep thinking individuals who are all going through something. I really enjoyed this book!! "
— Bobbi, 1/27/2014" Interesting concept. I loved Tiny but didn't care too much for the Wills. I liked original, capital letter Will better than smaller case Will. Hated the ending. "
— Mindy, 1/3/2014" Funny, sad and easy to read "
— Donna, 12/13/2013" Absolutely loved it. This is the first time I've read a collaboration book and it didn't disappoint. "
— Pau, 12/9/2013" I LOVE Will Grayson, Will Grayson! It's wonderful, funny, irritating, heartbreaking, and inspiring. John Green and David Levithan did a great job. And the two narrators (playing the two Will Graysons) are phenomenal! "
— Deborah, 10/13/2013" Probably more along the lines of 3.5 stars; it's funny and has interesting characters/subject. A bit drawn out but I really enjoyed the two different voices. "
— Gina, 9/27/2013" Will Grayson,will grayson is probably one of the best young adults book I have read so far. It really hilarious and original, it's a breathe of fresh air and an enjoyable read. "
— Lixian, 8/11/2013" I don't what I expect but I think I expected more. Oh well, such is life. "
— Katherine, 6/12/2013" Awesome authors, awesome book, awesome characters. "
— Jerome, 5/17/2013" I really love this book especially the ending and how everything in the story is tied together because of one giant,caring,gay Tiny Cooper. "
— Jennie, 1/13/2013" A pleasant surprise of a book. Imagine a movie-length really good episode of "Glee." A really original and entertaining YA book, with enough substance to be truly satisfying. Highly recommended. "
— Jennie, 8/22/2012" This book is funny, rude, funny, sarcastic, & funny. It is dripping with emotions, honesty, & smart wit. Fun read :) "
— Jaren, 7/23/2012" I love the characters and friendship in this book and it is rather cute! loving both of these authors right now! "
— Catherine, 6/5/2012" It's more interesting in the beginning but still pretty good. "
— Marissa, 5/26/2012" Some really quality characters, and I love the idea of two authors writing stories side by side. But not something that stuck with me too much. "
— Emily, 5/17/2012" It is half written by John Green, therefore it is my joint favourite book along with his others but I also thoroughly enjoyed David Levithan's section of the book so I look forward to reading more of his books. "
— James, 4/9/2012" I would give this book 7 stars if I could. It's young adult but will resonate with anyone. It was so funny and sweet and sad and real. "
— Rachel, 3/23/2012" Oh God. I wrote a lengthy review and halfway through it I lost it. I'll post the review some other day after reading it once again. But, it's a really good book and you should read it because it will amuse you, inspire you, make you laugh, break your heart and make you sigh in bliss. "
— Fayez, 9/23/2011" I think that Tiny Cooper may be one of my favourite fictional characters of all time. "
— Erica, 5/20/2011" This book will make you laugh and cry and feel sad and feel happy. The book is brilliantly written by two authors (quite a feat within itself), a book that as soon as I finished the last page I turned to the front to start again thrilled with the novel. "
— Zoe, 5/19/2011" This was my first foray into fun reading after finishing graduate school. It was a fun read. It was mostly a fluffy read with some thoughtful moments. I liked the way this book dealt with depression. It also came very close to addressing class issues but backed out at the last minute. "
— Megan, 5/18/2011" I love this book so much. It's been like a year since I last read it, and it's even better than I remembered. <br/><br/>I really have nothing more to say, other than it's a brilliant book. "
— Manar, 5/17/2011" I thought this book was really differnt :D I enjoyed this book! It was great! But i thought he ending was.. a bit cheesey O.O "
— Jasmine, 5/16/2011" i'm pretty sure i am this will grayson.<br/><br/>This book ruled. I don't know which part of it John Green wrote, but it doesn't really matter because everyone should read this anyway. "
— Victoria, 5/15/2011" Al mondo non esistono persone più dissimili dei due protagonisti di questo libro. <br/>Steso nome, vite opposte. <br/>Essere amico non è una cosa che scegli, è una cosa che sei. "
— Terri, 5/15/2011" Great choice for gay/lesbian YA lit, but not my favorite John Green book by a long shot. He co-wrote this with David Levithan, another YA god. Two boys named Will Grayson - one gay, one not. Cute story. "
— Emily, 5/14/2011" Lovable characters, teens, friendship, and the meaning of life. "
