Night Film
by Marisha Pessl
4.5 ⭐️
really enjoyed this one. of the thrillers/mysteries i’ve read, this is definitely one of the more unique stories. i do wish it ended before the Chile section but that might just be me wishing for a neatly tied up story—i don’t think it ruined the book by any means. i also wish the author didn’t write Scott as an ignorant Gen X/Boomer man who spews casual racism, transphobia, homophobia, etc. it was never anything too egregious in my opinion—just tasteless and unnecessary comments here and there. he really felt like your one uncle who never knows when to shut the hell up. maybe that was the point (because he is an overall unlikeable character, so maybe the author thought it added to his yuckiness) but it did make me feel icky at points about an otherwise brilliant book. besides that, i do recommend this one! you will just have to overlook Scott’s, erm, ignorance.
