Book Rating

Colourful and captivating

I was instantly engrossed in this book, being taken back to 19th century China, where being chosen to be the Emperor's concubine was a great privilege.
The book is written from a first-person perspective, and allows you to visualise everything described - from the gardens, to the dress, and occasionally, the smells.
Beautifully written.

ArecRain (8 KP) rated Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist in Books

Jan 18, 2018

I didn't get past page one before I hated this novel. The movie was okay, but the book is just terrible. Written in first person, switching between Nick and Norah, I was reminded how pathetic and obnoxious high schoolers can be, especially when they thing they know everything.

I don't even feel like ranting about this novel.

There is not one person in my house, or even my friends, who do not enjoy this film, or any of the other short Wallace and Gromit films. They are a timeless classic- just as funny and entertaining now as it was when I first watched it. They are wonderful and heartfelt creations by Nick Park.

Album Favorite

"Marvin Gaye is the first person who taught me to write from a place of experience and talk about what was right in front of me. And his style of background vocal production is something that I listen to all of the time for inspiration. My favorites are 'Flying High in a Friendly Sky' and 'Wholy Holy.'"
