I'm having a hard time deciding whether this book was a good read, or rather infuriating.Terrific prologue (right now, I could so draw Ashley, ghostly Ashely with her red coat and dark hair), and excellent premise. A suicide that might be murder or yet something else. A reclusive, mysterious film-di...
The Basics Ashley Cordova, daughter of notorious horror director Stanslas Cordova, has committed suicide. For Scott McGrath, an investigative reporter left disgraced by loose lips regarding the Cordova empire, this raises a ton of questions. With the help of Nora and Hopper, he intends to find ans...
This book did do a good job of entertaining me and making me think, but the author really dropped the ball when writing the narrator's inner monologue and outer dialogue. No forty-three year-old investigative journalist is going to use italics like a teenager. It threw me right out of a book that ...
Cuando tenia once o doce años , alla por principios de milenio , la sensación en el cine era una peli de terror : "The Blair Witch Project" . TODOS estaban viéndola : yendo al cine , alquilandola , recreándola con sus cámaras perdidas - gente de todas partes del mundo viajaba a USA a visitar esos "m...
At any given time I have 86 bajillion things to do, which means much of what I'm trying to do gets shunted to one side while I deal with those things actively on fire. I meant to write a review of Night Film when I read it but time and Chrismas have conspired to push it onto my "No, I'll definitel...
This did get a little better about half way in but then crashed again shortly afterwards. Ultimately disappointing considering how long it was and how bland the writing and dialogue were. If you're going to read a 600 page book, I wouldn't recommend this one.
I had read Pessl's first novel and enjoyed it, so I was more than game to give Night Film a try, and I was pleasantly surprised. This story is really well put together and doesn't rely on witty comments for its effect. I still found the voice of the main character a little hard to relate to, but I...
Night Film, Marisha Pessl's second novel, is just as intriguingly weird as her first, if not more so. On the face of it, it sounds like a relatively straightforward murder-mystery: Ashley Cordova, daughter of elusive, legendary horror film director Stanislas Cordova, is found dead at the bottom of a...
At the end of this book I sighed with relief. I was glad the tension was over, The story, however, is unbelievably magnetic. You can’t let it go once you begin, even as it gets more and more intense. The reader will wonder if they are reading a script in which the actors don’t realize they are parti...
