Wow, found out this morning I'd won the child pop figure and then he was delivered this afternoon. So cute he made two nine year old's go squee and one of them wasn't even in the house.
     

"This novel explores the oft confusing social mores and prejudices of humankind, all while following a Mars-born human male's first trip to earth. I found it incredibly relevant to the America that I've grown up in."

The timeline in regards to the webisodes and movies is kind of all over the place but I still found it cute. Essays and quotes from the characters were adorable. Formatted like an actual yearbook. Fun read

I realize this novella is an important part of the series, but I found myself bored and wanting to skip it altogether. This, of course, is my own fault and not Victoria's - the correspondence was so real.

I read many American novels, and recall especially John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath, in which I found many similarities between the plight of the migrant workers in that novel and our own laborers and farm workers.”

I really liked this novel. I found that I really enjoyed John Green. I've heard a lot about him and I figured I'd give him a try, the fact that I found a novel by him and my favorite author was simply icing on the cake. I'm always nervous to start a David Levithan novel because you never know if it going to change your life. This book was not earth shattering but it was still an extremely interesting read and made me smile.

The characters were outrageous. Tiny was hilarious and irritating at the same time. I wanted to hug him and punch him. Will Grayson (1st Will Grayson) was an interesting guy. I found him annoying yet lovable and realistic. will grayson(2nd Will Grayson) was an interesting read. You don't get the characters when they are in the middle of everything. You get a character who is struggling with the onset of depression but never the character who has it and is just living with it.

I found myself really entertained with this novel. I am definitely glad that I read this novel and I will definitely look into John Green.

A well written and heartbreaking read that will forever stay with you. I found myself emotionally invested not only with the story but also with the characters. I highly recommend this book and make sure you grab tissues.
