I just read Night Film by Marisha Pessl for a book club. It came very highly recommended and I HATED it. Most of the opinions I’ve seen online through book reviews are really good though. I’m so confused. I felt like there was no real point of this story and everything felt irrelevant. It was way too long and the ending sucked. Has anyone read this book and felt similarly? Has anyone liked it and can explain why?
“I felt like there was no real point of this story and everything felt irrelevant.”
I honestly believe this could be said about every work of fiction ever written. They’re all just made-up stories with no real “point.”
Unless you specifically read satire fiction, which is designed to be a commentary on society, or *maybe* historical fiction (though accurate historical fiction is very difficult to find)…most fiction books are written to entertain, not to have some big *point*
It just depends on who’s reading it and they’re opinion of it. Luckily, we have millions of books to choose from. And readers may find a “point” in other books they read.
