House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski

5.0

This book is not for you...
I would recommend this book to very few people, and those who I did dare to read it Im sure would not finish it. This book is an enigma, following three story layers that bleed into one another. The story lines alone are a tangled maze. The real labyrinth of this novels stems from the fact that things are written upside down, backwards, to the left, to the right, to be read in mirrors, in three fonts, in braille, in German, falsely, truly, in red, in blue, and any other possible combination of confusion. This book is the hardest thing I have ever attempted to read. If you feel as though you are up to the challenge, by all means proceed. From page one, the novel will leave you wandering...
