Night Film by Marisha Pessl

4.0

I...have no idea what to rate this. On one hand, Night Film kept me at the edge of my seat for at least 70% of the book. On the other, the italics literally drove me nuts. This book would have been insanely good if it weren't for the fact that every other word of dialogue was italicized for emphasis. No, seriously. This was a 664-page book and if I took a shot everytime someone spoke in italics, I'd be dead of alcohol poisoning by page 5. Not to mention, all of the characters had the same voice and spoke with the same amount of emphasis, it was almost like they were all the same person.

However, the plot was riveting, Cardova and his world were insane to learn about, and I really was enthralled despite the italics. So, I'm rating this a four stars and we'll see how it goes lmao
