House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski

4.0

Review and rating to come, because having just finished reading, I am not quite sure how I feel about this right now....
So it’s what, 8 months later? I’m still not sure how I feel about it. I wanted to love it and I did find it fascinating and interesting and super weird, but I also got tired of some of the “look at me” cleverness and it wasn’t nearly as scary as I expected - I was planning to be scared to death and it was at most mildly creepy. I’m sure I missed a ton as I read - the attention to detail is insane and the layers would take a lot to untangle - and I did kind of skim some of the lists and poems and things like that. But it’s worth reading just so say that you did, you conquered it (sort of).
