A review by arlena_priscilla
Night Film by Marisha Pessl

5.0

This is by far one of the best thrillers I've ever read. It was suspenseful, had enigmatic characters, and hint of the occult. However, the last 50 pages were a huge let down to me. I liked the direction the ending was heading and then all of a sudden it just....well, ended. I wanted more from the ending. I understand why it was left the way it was, it fits in with the over arching theme of the book. However, for me it left too much open, some ends weren't tied up which is something I hate in thriller novels. This would have been a 5 star book for me if not for the ending. The story telling format of this book of using photographs, letters and web pages to help the story progress was a great tool in helping the reader connect to the characters. If you like mystery or thriller novels, give this one a go!
