Book Review: Night Film

Shawshank, November 23, 2020November 19, 2020

First let me start off by thanking Crystal for making this awesome new graphic for my book reviews. It looks simply amazing.

I got away from reviewing the books that were sent to me when I was away. And looking at my list, i only had two left. So I figured, let’s get em done.

This is my review of Night Film by Marisha Pessl. (Who by the way, seems to have disappeared. She hasn’t posted anything in about 2 years. Just dropped off the radar.)

First off, this book is like nothing I’ve ever seen before. There’s multimedia in the pages of this book. It’s hard to explain. One moment you’re simply reading a book, the next, you’re reading a magazine or even a webpage. It’s incredible.

It’s a massive book, over 600 pages. The storyline is this; Ashley Cordova, daughter of famous horror filmmaker, Stanislas Cordova, commits suicide. Believing that he was involved in her death, Scott McGrath teams up with Nora and Hopper to figure out what happened, and who was actually involved.

I really enjoyed this book. I started reading it inside, but then suddenly, Canada! I think I finished it one night while in quarantine in Montreal. I really have to revisit this book sometime in the future, because I really wanted to enjoy the ending, but it felt a little long.

All in all, I really liked this book, and would recommend it to others that enjoy mystery/thrillers.
