Interpretation In Pursuance Of Books Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist
It all starts when Nick asks Norah to be his girlfriend for five minutes. He only needs five minutes to avoid his ex-girlfriend, who’s just walked in to his band’s show. With a new guy. And then, with one kiss, Nick and Norah are off on an adventure set against the backdrop of New York City—and smack in the middle of all the joy, anxiety, confusion, and excitement of a first date. This he said/she said romance told by YA stars Rachel Cohn and David Levithan is a sexy, funny roller coaster of a story about one date over one very long night, with two teenagers, both recovering from broken hearts, who are just trying to figure out who they want to be—and where the next great band is playing. Told in alternating chapters, teeming with music references, humor, angst, and endearing side characters, this is a love story you’ll wish were your very own. Working together for the first time, Rachel Cohn and David Levithan have combined forces to create a book that is sure to grab readers of all ages and never let them go.Present Books Conducive To Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist

This book was such a disappointment for me. The characters seem overly quirky, like something out of John Green novel (which isn't a positive for me, sorry). There's just nothing special about this book. It's yet another addition to the aggressively heterosexual, aggressively quirky genre, which shocked me coming from David Levithan. This genre works when the characters and realities of life truly shine through, in books like Perks Of Being A Wallflower and some of David Levithan's other books.Read this back in high school. All the music and the love got me completely obsessed.And don't even let me start on the huge girl crush I had on Tris, please.I'm still not over how disastrously awful the movie adaptation was, though, especially the cast choices. They casted Michael Cera as Nick. FRIGGIN'! MICHAEL! CERA! I'll never not be mad about it.
On the emo (punk? oh whatever, EMO) music scene in New York City, Nick and Norah meet and fall in love over a single, remarkable night. Unfortunately, what had the potential to be a great book fails in its execution.The trouble with a co-written book (Cohn and Levithan wrote alternating chapters, sending the manuscript back and forth) is that half the writing I liked a lot (Cohn's) and half the writing I damn near hated (Levithan's). I like wordplay. I do not, however, like it nearly as much as
This book is FUCKING EPIC. So there. I think all YA lit is exaggerated in a sense, not in a bad way, but in an interesting way--who wants to read about just the ordinary? Of course, I could just be saying this because it was done well here. I bet you anything the next YA book I read, I'll be griping about it being 'too unrealistic.' What's the difference then? Writing. Levithan and Cohn's writing is sooo gorgeous in that 'witty but not so witty you're annoying and pretentious' kind of way. And
PEOPLE PEOPLE PEOPLE. THERE IS GONNA BE A LOOOOOOTT OF SCREAMING AND SWEARING. BACK AWAY NOW IF YOU WANT TO. Someone: What's your least favorite book? Me: *has flashbacks of gagging while reading this book* I'M NOT THE ONE TO GIVE OUT ANGRY REVIEWS BECAUSE I HAVE RESPECT FOR AUTHORS WORKS. BUT THIS BOOK. THIS BOOK. I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE TO START WITH THIS FUCKING MESS. I WOULD RATHER DIP MY FACE IN A CORROSIVE ACID THAN READ THIS BOOK. I WOULD RATHER SIT DOWN AND WATCH CHEESY HORROR MOVIES
Please note that I did not give this book any stars. I rounded up to one star on Goodreads.I read this for Romance Book Bingo 2017: Insta-love square. This is going to be a bit ranty so I apologize in advance. I loathed this book. From beginning to end. I can't believe that a movie that I enjoyed spun off from this source material. I think at one time I wonder how many times Nick said the "f" word and decided I was too lazy to do a search via my Kindle because I just wanted this book to be over.
I noticed this book in our house--my mom was reading it, and the cover both intrigued me and repelled me. However, after my mom's recommendation, I read this book--and loved it. It is one of the most dead-on accurate books I've ever read about young emotions and feelings. The initial plot is slightly contrived: a heartbroken teenager sees his ex with her new guy and asks a girl to pretend she's his girlfriend. However, the story is told by both Nick and Norah's point of view, so the reader is
