A good and interesting light read for older teens; we universally liked the romance aspects of the story. We thought it would be a good audio presentation or even a stage presentation to get the full effect of the numerous songs. Check out I-tunes and the Nick and Norah website for some song lists!
The pacing was frenetic in keeping with the punk/club scene and we debated the positive and negative aspects of the intriguing 2-author writing. In the beginning the voices of Nick and Norah were quite separate, then they blended as the story unfolded: a bit too blended for most of us. We also discussed the story taking place in one (albeit long) night and felt overall that it could have been drawn out more for realism.
All in all, not an overly "discussable" book but a good one~ not great, but good.
