This is an truly engaging story and a supremely fabulous audio book - there is a reason the audio version won an Odyssey Award Honor. I have pity for the next audio book I listen to.
My only sadness is that it is not really appropriate for my K-8 collection (as John Green states in the video below).

When I read the hardcover edition, I had this to say:
"A mostly-hilarious read for anyone who doesn't mind an over-the-top story and is not bothered by language/sex/etc. I know I just read it, but I've heard such good things about the audio version that I'm itching it pick it up. I'll never hear "Tiny Dancer" the same way again."

Loved, loved, loved this book. Listened to the audio edition narrated by MacLeod Andrews and Nick Podehl. Once the worlds of the two Will Graysons started intersecting, I just didn't want to stop listening. Despite all the romantic entanglements in the book, I loved that in the end it was all really about friendship.

yay john green and david levithan! yay gays! yay musicals! yay true love!
I liked this, but it was a little predictable and just blah. I didn't like it nearly as much as John Green's other books -- I felt it was missing the quirkiness and mystery. The only other book I've read by David Levithan was Nick and Nora, another collaboration, and that is one of my favorite teen books, so I expected to like this more.

Hilarious, brilliant, and simply entertaining. A rare LGBT book for YA. My first experience reading both John Green and David Leviathan's book. And it's an awesome adventure, as long as you keep your mind open =)

It was ok. Some funny parts. I am just not in love with John Green like everyone else is.
