Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist

By: Rachel Cohn, David Levithan

Narrated by: Emily Janice Card, Kirby Heyborne

The New York Times bestselling he-said/she-said rock n’ roll romance that inspired the hit movie!

"I know this is going to sound strange, but would you mind being my girlfriend for the next five minutes?"

Nick frequents New York's indie rock scene nursing a broken heart. Norah is questioning all of her assumptions about the world. They have nothing in common except for their taste in music, until a chance encounter leads to an all-night quest to find a legendary band's secret show and ends up becoming a first date that could change both their lives.

Co-written by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan, co-author of Will Grayson, Will Grayson with John Green (The Fault In Our Stars), Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist is a sexy, funny roller coaster of a story that reminds you how you can never be sure where the night will take you…©2008 Rachel Cohn; (P)2008 Listening Library

Critic reviews

"Electric, sexy . . . and genuinely poignant, this is a compelling story of the risks and thrills of burgeoning intimacy." - The Bulletin, Starred

If you like the film you'll love the book!

Would you listen to Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist again? Why?

I've listened to it at least 5 times and I always keep it on my my iphone as my backup audiobook.

What did you like best about this story?

I love the way the book goes from Nick to Norah's perspective. The authors wrote the book by writing a chapter from the character's perspective and then sending it to each other. You can see the play back an forth, as they try to write each other into a corner, example the yellow Yugo. I loved the film, but the book is so much better. More details of the story and the characters get themselves into more shenanigans.

What about Emily Janice Card, and Kirby Heyborne’s performance did you like?

The performance was spot on! I really could believe that these performers were the characters. I love that a woman reads the Norah chapters and a man reads the Nick chapters.

Was there a moment in the book that particular moved you?

I love when Kirby reads the song Ludlow lyrics. You could hear the heartbreak and passion of the song even though it wasn't sung.

Any additional comments?

I highly recommend this listen, but do not buy it if you are easily offended my harsh language. My Mother loved the movie but I would never tell her to listen it, because I know she would be shocked by all the use of profanity.

Ahhhh....

Okay, imagine it is the hottest day of the year and you reach inside a cold fridge and pull out the last coca cola. You pop the top and take that first sip. You can't help it when your eyes close and an "Ahhh..." escapes your lips.

I enjoyed this book as much as the ^ above ^ experience. I know it is classified as a YA book, but a few parts seemed a little mature.

The story flows so well and both the characters are strong and play well off each other. Very different than the movie.

I love this book. Great narrators.

Download this book!!

Experiencing the magic all over again..

I have both read the book n watched the movie, but listening to the audio was like experiencing the magic of this story all over again. Priceless.

Fast paced and full of humour!

When you are in the mood to read (or listen) to a fun, upbeat and all round humorous book, Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist will fit the bill. Written by co-authors Rachel Cohn and David Levithan, this book will have you wishing for a whirlwind of a night like Nick and Norah have.

First of all, I have read a few books written by both Rachel Cohn and David Levithan. I love how rich and full of excitement these stories are. Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist is a fast-paced book that takes place over a short period of time. The alternating perspectives in this particular book really add a wonderful flavour to the story and gives the listener quite a bit to digest as a new way of seeing the events unfolding is brought forth. I absolutely adored Norah’s character and her raw, edgy personality makes you laugh out loud as you are listening. Card and Heyborne both magically bring the characters to life with their narrations, making this one of my favourite audiobooks that I have listened to this year.

Loved Nick and Norah

Finished with a smile on my face. Wonderful story of young love and two great characters.
