If you're reading this because you watched the film, prepare to be surprised. They're both great, but totally different. Though it has the same fun (if slightly manic) tone, the book is a lot edgier than the film, with some darker elements too. Which is all good, if you ask me.

I love how much David Levithan obviously loves language, and plays with it continuously (probably more than Nick would actually be capable of doing, but who cares, it's fun). I love how the characters' internal monologues are so much more eloquent than their awkward utterances, and how quite often they do things or say things without really thinking about it at all, and their narration has to catch up and ask 'what the hell just happened there?'.

And of course, the music scene makes me so envious. New York-style all-night awesome music binges are about as different to where I grew up as Game of Thrones or something.The only consolation, that goes some way to salving my envy, is that Nick and Norah obviously do know how lucky they are. ( )

Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist by David Levithan

I was very excited to read this book and I must say it was a bit of a disappointment. I love both authors but this book just didn’t do it for me.

I would have liked this book much more if it weren't for all the cussing. The story is interesting but I had a hard time really getting into it and relating to the characters. . The characters were kind of annoying and could have been written better. I know for past books that both of these authors have done an excellent job in the past and could have done so much more. I just couldn’t dig it for some reason.

I don't think I'd read this book again.

The cover is pretty cool, I like how it's a heart with headphones.

I'd rate it a 2/5 ( )

Wasn't terrible, but I was expecting more. Additionally, do kids really use the "F" word this much? I am shocked! Okay, not shocked, but it was a bit much. ( )

Lots of music and snappy humor in this engaging story of an all-night adventure in the city that brings Nick and Norah together. I think it describes Nick's character in the beginning perfectly when I say he's the only straight guy in a queer-core band. Norah has been pronounced frigid by her nasty boyfriend. They spend a madcap night running all over the city for one reason and another.

I would have rated this book much higher if there weren't so many EWWWW WTF!?! moments. ( )

Quotations
"Maybe that's it," I say gently. "With what you were talking about before. The world being broken. Maybe it isn't that we're supposed to find the pieces and put them back together. Maybe we're the pieces."
She doesn't reply, but I can tell she's listening carefully. I feel like I'm understanding something for the first time, even if I'm not entirely sure what it is yet.
"Maybe," I say, "what we're supposed to do is come together. That's how we stop the breaking."

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 037584614X, Paperback)

NOW A MAJOR motion picture starring Michael Cera (Juno and Superbad) and Kat Dennings (The 40 Year-Old Virgin)! Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist is a comedy about two teens thrust together for one hilarious, sleepless night of adventure in a world of mix tapes, late-night living, and, live, loud music. Nick frequents New York’s indie rock scene nursing a broken heart and Norah is questioning all of her assumptions about the world. Though they have nothing in common except for their taste in music, their chance encounter leads to an all-night quest to find a legendary band’s secret show and ends up becoming the first date that could change both their lives.

From YA fan-favorites Rachel Cohn and David Levithan comes the story of Nick and Norah. This movie tie-in edition also includes an 8-page photo insert from the film, as well as a map of Manhattan, detailing all of the sites Nick and Norah go to on their all-night date.
