House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski
3.0
From a purely technical point of view, this book is incredible, so 3 stars just for that. I cannot imagine the amount of effort it took to write and it's clearly a labour of many years of intensive planning and love.
Did I enjoy reading it?
I recently had the pleasure of having to remove wallpaper from my bedroom. It was old and had been painted over with some latex based paint designed by Satan himself. It was a tedious and boring job. The wallpaper would break into nail size pieces that you'd have to pick one by one for hours. Sometimes, you'd pull over a corner and a nice big piece would come off in such a perfect and satisfying way that the whole experience almost felt like fun. Until the next piece didn't.
That's what reading this book was like.
Would I read it again?
I'd rather die.
Sorry Rick!
