Book Review: Night Film

Title: Night Film: A Novel
Author: Marisha Pessl
Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars 

Summary:  The daughter of a reclusive film director is found dead in an abandoned warehouse, presumably by suicide.  A disgraced reporter is intrigued by the daughter's death and investigates further. 

My Review:  I have to admit, I didn't realize until after I got this that this was the same woman that wrote Special Topics in Calamity Physics.  I couldn't finish Special Topics, so if I realized it was the same author, I probably wouldn't have read it.  Fortunately, I didn't realize this until I was already reading this book. 

I loved this book.  It was suspenseful and scary.  This is one of those books that you'd read before bed and you wouldn't want to put down.  The book was interspersed with "real" articles about the author and her daughter.  I got the sense that the Kindle version is more interactive, which would be cool to see.

Did you read it?  What did you think?
