This book is pretty notorious so I'm going to assume you know what your generally looking at here since so much ink has been spilled for it already.

The book is a bit of a slog in parts. It likes to lull you to sleep with what to me felt like overly verbose exposition, particularly when focuses on the main character. It does create an interesting dynamic though where I felt myself slowly glazing over, only to suddenly be shaken by spooky events in the book. So with that in mind I'll chock it up as part of the experience.

All in all I really enjoyed it. The ending is what let me down, personally though. I wont spoil, but the ending felt a bit empty to me. Threads for explanations for why events were occurring were pulled on, but never unwraveled. The finale for Navidson was underwhelming and felt out of place to me. I just felt a smidge cheated at the end.

That being said, I was primarily a surface level reader. I did read all the footnotes and most of the exhibits/appendixes when they were called out in thr primary text. But theres a second book to my understanding that contains many of the "sources" within those footnotes,  and I'm willing to bet theres a lot to unpack in this book that I simply didnt have the attention span for. Its still a good read either way.
