Christmas Countdown Review #13 - Will Grayson, Will Grayson by John Green and David Levithan

I'm back with my 13th review of the season, Will Grayson, Will Grayson by John Green and David Levithan.

Will Grayson, Will Grayson is, chiefly, about 2 boys, both named Will Grayson, as you may have gathered. They've never met each other in their life and they have absolutely nothing connecting them, until one fateful night that is. When they happen to run into each other, quite by accident, it sets of a spiral of events that change both of their live for the better. As it turns out both of their lives go in new, romantic and fabulous directions. Will the most fabulous high school musical ever be a flop? What led tothe fated meeting of the Wills Grayson? What goes on as they become better friends? You'll have to read on and find out.

This book is amazingly funny and witty and wonderful and the collaboration couldn't have been between two better authors. Though I should warn you, each Will Grayson narrates separate chapters, by which I mean one narrates the odd chapters and one narrates the even. Often you can tell by the perspective and the way they talk and the other characters they refer to but, especially if you're reading this at 2:30 in the morning when you can't sleep, it can get confusing especially as their lives entwine more and more thus entwining their friends lives as well.

All in all I loved this book, it was wonderful, funny as I mentioned and witty and one of the most thoroughly entertaining books I've ever read. I would recommend this book to anyone who like young adult fiction, John Green, musicals, John Green, you get the idea.

That's all for today folks but do come back in a little while as I'll finally be doing my 14th book review which means I'll be all caught up! Hopefully I won't get that behind again, I shouldn't but you never know what comes up during the holidays.

Christmas Countdown Review #11 - Paper Towns by John Green

Today's actually review, number 11, for the 11th day (no really?) is about Paper Towns by John Green.

Our story starts in Jefferson Park, Orlando with Quentin "Q" Jacobsen and Margo Roth Spiegelman, friends since childhood. However, as is usual for friends who've been that way for a while, they, inevitably, begin to grow apart. That is, until 1 night when they are both in high school and Margo enlists Q's help to get revenge on those who've done her wrong. Margo tells Quentin about her theory about  the "Paper Towns" towns that are so fake they're not even plastic fake, they're just paper, they have not substance (or very little substance).

One day, Margo runs away, trying to escape the Paper Towns and find somewhere real. Quentin goes after her, deciphering her cryptic clue trail that only he understands, along the way. Will he find Margo? Do they find somewhere that's real? Read on to find out.

I did supremely enjoy this book. I found it delightful, intriguing and suspenseful all at once, I say  9.99/10 if not 10/10. I'm not purposefully being cryptic here but I want to post no spoilers...also, there is to be a Paper Towns movie, starring Nat Wolff (Isaac from The Fault in Our Stars). As with all books that are turned into movies, I suggest reading the books first as they almost always differ in major aspect and that can be frustrating for those who've read the book because you know they've changed bits and left bits out but at the same time, you know what's supposed to happen so when you go back and read the book again your mind fills in the gaps automatically.

Anther amazing read from John Green. I'll see you tomorrow for another review, until then, keep reading, writing and reviewing!
