I have to admit that when I first ran across this I was immediately drawn to it... I have a big affinity for novels that delve into the mysterious underbelly of a society (or in this case, revealing the rarely seen side of an urban hospital). "Night Shitf" just grabbed my attention and ran with it, sucking me into a hilariously gripping story about an orderly and the woman he's secretly in love with, and an off-the-wall night of drama, romance, intrigue, danger, less than honorable intentions and a truly indescribable glimpse into the hi-jinks that go on at Moses' work.What I love about this novel is that L.L. Fine has a way of writing that feels intense yet funny, sharp yet lush, descriptive yet mysteriously and intriguingly vague. This is a novel that will have you laughing one moment and gasping in shock the next; it runs the gamut of emotions and never ceases in keep up the pace from start to finish. The author has a gift for storytelling and a unique voice that pulls this novel ahead of the rest of the pack... it's funny, edgy, gripping and wonderfully engaging.Overall, this was a thoroughly entertaining novel that bounces around a number of different genres from comedy to gritty drama...  managing to blend each genre together into a smooth and highly enjoyable story. It definitely left an impression and is certainly a novel I would recommend to readers looking for something with a little bite along with humor and drama.
