This was entertaining. I certainly could not put the book down exactly as I predicted to happen. It was funny. It was cute. It was right, and it had touched me on many serious emotional levels that I am sort of ashamed to admit. I didn't like the way it was written much, though, and Will Grayson number two's obvious lack of usage of capital letters and proper punctuation made me wince...repeatedly.
The problem was that (1) I apparently misunderstood the plot when I read the summary so I kind of ended up with something completely different, and (2) I had too much hopes up.
It was good however, good enough for a book written by two people and who, therefore, have two different perspectives and envisionments. It was cute and funny, too. I even cried. (I apparently cry a lot over books recently).
However, this book has been written for today and the generation of today, and therefore cannot be classified as a literary work. I am not expecting it to be written in the 18th century England style of writing “and as the 11 o'clock bell began to toll, I was overwhelmed with a feeling of felicity! Who could have thought I would meet a guy possessing the same name as I do in this shabby old porn shop? What a mighty splendid coincidence!” But at least a Harry Potter level of literature. This is made for modern people who barely read and not as a decent work of literature.
