Although the ending was a letdown, this was a great book to break a reading slump. It was absorbing, fast-paced, kept me guessing, and I really liked all the film lore that Pessl built up around Cordova. The scene in the warehouse/film set was my favorite for sure. She definitely writes a convincing...
Sovereign. Deadly. Almost perfect. This book was the creepy puzzle-box of a novel that I have been hunting for over the years. This is what I wanted out of books like House of Leaves (and ultimately didn't get). This book hits that wonderful sweet spot where you're never quite certain whether or n...
The body of young, beautiful Ashley Cordova has been found in an abandoned warehouse. It appears as though she has committed suicide. But investigative journalist Scott McGrath believes this is not true. Ashley's father is Stanislas Cordova, an enigma. He's a film director whose dark, unsettling wor...
Night Film gripped me. I was on the edge of my seat for most of the book, reading the book in large chunks, taking breaks and taking my time, because of dark and disturbing content, and also to just think. This book made me think a lot. The story isn't what I would call scary, but thrilling or suspe...
I wanted to love this book. Everyone loves this book. But I didn't love this book. It was just okay.I found it interesting at the beginning, but it began to drag on and on until I eventually lost interest in the mystery, because I just wanted it to be over. I didn't DNF it because I had just enough ...
This was one long mofo of an audio book. I will give it extra brownie points for holding my attention enough to listen to all 23 hours of it. That’s not a misprint. Twenty-Three Hours! Damn, that is a long ass listen. Worth it too. A very well done thriller/mystery/suspense tale that immediately gra...
Some books grab me. Some books don’t. This one didn’t. I realized this after I had to rewind five+ HOURS of audio because I was completely lost after sleep-listening my way through all of the incredibly boring descriptive details and goings-on and tidbits and interviews of whatnot and whoever. ...
Never trust the hype! I was really looking forward to be reading this novel and I was expecting a good mystery thriller with a lot of suspence. Instead I read a too long-drawn-out pretentious mess of a book. The plot is disappointing and not suspenceful at all. I´ve got the impression that Marisha...

Pre-Reading (5/5/15): My stepdad got me this book for my birthday last month. He told me when he was reading it, he thought I would love it. This is a reminder, to myself, to tell him that I started it today. Read Pre-Review (8/31/15): Review to come once my thoughts stop going WTF did I just read?...
