Will Grayson, Will Grayson = Done

8/4/2011

With books as good as this one, I never get the chance to write a half-way point blog.  I finish it so quickly, that by the time I have a moment to blog about it, I'm already done.  Needless to say, I really liked this book.

At first, when the book jumped from the first Will to the second Will, I didn't know what was happening.  One minute the chapter was grammatically written and the next it was in all lowercase.  I hadn't done any prior research on the book, so I didn't know that the two authors wrote each of the different Wills in alternating chapters: one writing the odd chapters and the other the even chapters.  Once I caught on, though, I was totally into it.

I loved the distinct voices of the two Wills especially when they were interacting with each other.  I loved how they were both assholes in their own way, one because of his rules and the other because of his depression.  I loved the truthfulness of the story despite the rudeness of it (though that makes it even more truthful).  But, most of all, I loved Tiny. 

I just loved the idea of this bigger than life character called Tiny.  He was the heart of the story and the heart of both Wills.  If it wasn't for him, I don't think either Will's plotline would have been the same.  He was definitely my favorite character.

No date yet as to when the book club is meeting, but as always, I will keep you informed.

    Blogs are whatever we make them. Defining ‘Blog’ is a fool’s errand.
