Amazing Teen thriller

I couldnt put the book down, wanting to know what happens with every page turn. Sometimes got too eager and would have to re-read the page again.

"In black and white, made in 1940 by Sir Carol Reed, who of course also did The Third Man, Odd Man Out, Oliver!, etc. Night Train to Munich is a witty and quite gripping thriller. Intricate and romantic with very amusing performances."

"The thriller; superstitions, New Orleans, Mickey Rourke, a barefoot Lisa Bonet in soft white eyelet cotton dresses on sandy roads… The sex scene where the blood drips from the ceiling, intercut with the boy on the street tap dancing for change… Ceiling fans."

James Dyson recommended The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness in Books (curated)

"What better a time to set a mystery thriller than during the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair – the birthplace for so much American ingenuity. I love Chicago – Dyson’s US headquarters are based there – but I would have truly loved to see it then."

"The way that Gillo Pontecorvo makes his political points without resorting to propaganda—while always being truthful to the characters—is utterly brilliant. It’s a true-life thriller that doesn’t resort to a single cliché. The music is also unequaled in film."
