Night Film by Marisha Pessl wavered between a 3 and 4 start review and not because it overflowed with a fantastic supernatural edge, a wry humor found only in particular older folk's generational timeline, and last, a romantic psychological love that crosses boundaries of class and superstition. This book contained all of these; however, I found it too long. The plot-line dragged and in the end I wanted to reap a better reward for making it to the finish line. Further, McGrath, the main character did not make a dynamic change and he really needed to make that change from a self-absorbed butt head to a better dad and a better listener. Still, this is a book I highly recommend because it dives into what of the what that makes us live to the fullest. It makes you question what makes you tear through life or makes you stand still while live tears through you. Cordova, "the monstrous antagonist" ended up being my favorite character maybe because he hid in the dark and I could shape him the way I wanted to in the end. This is a book is not a coin toss. There is not a good guy or a bad one only your choice to walk along razors edge and make what's on the other side of it - yours.
