Sara (sarawithoutanH)'s Reviews > Neverworld Wake

What I liked about this book is that Marisha Pessl managed to tell a complex story that could've easily been confusing in a very succinct and beautiful way (I will always love her writing). The mythology of the neverworld wake was very out there but she managed to keep the story grounded. I really enjoyed the characters - at first glance, they seem simple and a bit tropey, but, as you read on, you quickly find that they have layers and deeper motivations for what they do. If you go into this story looking for something similar to Night Film, this isn't it. This book was definitely still a wild ride and I'd recommend it for people who like to read things that kind of hurt your brain but also keep you entertained. I'll admit that the ending dragged a bit and I sort of predicted where some of it was going (only some - a lot of it was still a surprise), but overall I really liked this book.
