Our view
At more than six hundred pages, “Night Film” is a mystery to sink into, and the multimedia material built into the book adds to its pull. Some readers find the prose careless in places; some feel no suspense, no attachment to the characters and no fear. For others it is an absorbing read for long evenings, the sort that keeps being picked up again.
