Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist

Nick's girlfriend just dumped him. Norah's boyfriend just dumped her. I sense a plot. Throw in some music, lots of crass junk, snatches of romance and lots of f-words and you've got Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist.

Lot's of swearing. It's not even educated swearing. It's like the authors thought, "This is a teen book. Teens swear. Let's use the f-word twice in every sentence and then teens can relate to this book." Not so much. Not only is it annoying and offencive, it's just plain confusing to try to figure out what everyone is saying through all the swearing and crude slang. Books aren't suppose to be just like real life, otherwise no one would read them. So then the authors deviate from the whole "let's stick to real life" thing and make Nick and Norah fall madly, passionately (aka hormonally) and (") truly (") (") in love ("). Whatever.

Well, in the morass of debauchery there is some very good romance. Nick and Norah both want what is best for the other (when they don't want to have sex). And sticking by friends is shown to be a good thing (but Norah takes it too far).

I would not recommend filling your mind with this crap. Even if there is some sweet stuff, it really isn't worth it.
