[...] REVIEW: Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan | Dear Author: Romanc… This story isn’t about the music. It’s not even about teens, even though its protags are teens. The story is about love and the illusions we create for ourselves about love. The story is the melody, the music is the bass, and Nick and Norah are the blending harmonies. First, though, is cacophony.

movie fan – I agree. The gum was gross and the entire theatre crowd groaned in disgust everytime it was pointed out. I also thought that they used too much silence and emotionally charged looks to convey what the dialogue did in the book. Why not use the dialogue to carry the message instead of lip biting and staring?

there were some awkward moments in this movie that were hard to get past… such as every time that gum was re-used (yuck!)

My 17-year-old loved this book. I recommended it to her based on the Smart Bitches’ review, and she inhaled it. She then insisted that I read it, and I also sucked it down in one evening.

Oh, and then she asked me for another recommendation from Smart Bitches, so I gave her Wicked Lovely. Win!

Great review! I’ve seen the commercials for the movie and didn’t know it was a book! Sounds so good. I loved the excerpts you posted. It really gave me a taste of the writing and an idea of what it’s like. Sounds great!

She’s not exactly *my* 15yo, she’s my SIL. And I was under the impression that Bella and Edward were married by the time they had a baby? Could be wrong, I only read Twilight. In terms of sheltering, the situation’s a little odd. Her mother doesn’t let her go anywhere or do anything, keeps fairly tight control of the tv, but doesn’t think to keep tabs on reading material. It’s just not on her radar, because she’s not much of a reader herself. So Lisa could “get away” with reading much more than she does.

I guess the message is that I’m going to have to be responsible and pre-screen before considering it for a Christmas present.

Incredible book. And I’m so glad they’ve cast what’s his name from Arrested Development in the film. Gives me hope. Great review!
