I loved the film, but the book is so much better. You can see the play back an forth, as they try to write each other into a corner, example the yellow Yugo. The authors wrote the book by writing a chapter from the character's perspective and then sending it to each other. I love the way the book goes from Nick to Norah's perspective. I've listened to it at least 5 times and I always keep it on my my iphone as my backup audiobook. Would you listen to Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist again? Why?
Ages 14-up.If you like the film you'll love the book! Readers will likely enjoy the ride, even if it is obvious where these two are headed. Much of the novel's energy comes from the rapid-fire repartee between the two leads, plus perhaps the most vivid character, Tris-Nick's Id-driven ex and a classmate of Norah's, who ends up giving Nick advice and Norah kissing lessons.
The two see a secret show on the Lower East Side, pig out in a Russian diner, and get caught making out in an ice room at the Times Square Marriott, all the time wondering if they can let go of their past loves and risk another heartbreak. Levithan again creates outrageous characters and witty wordplay (a "Playboygirl Bunny" bouncer asks Nick, "How long have the two of you been the two of you?"), and Cohn brings to life another rich punk rock girl. The novel has that pumped-up feeling of a story passed among friends who each add a section, spontaneously incorporating unforeseen elements. ) reveal the clever construction of the book in an authors' note: they sent chapters back and forth, he writing as Nick, she as Norah. He does not guess (though readers may) that kissing Norah will lead to a long, complicated evening, and a new chance for love. At a New York club one night, Nick convinces a stranger to pose as his girlfriend in order to fool Tris, the girl who broke his heart.
This compulsively readable novel takes place in less than 24 hours.
