» Faust91 - Reviewer fails to get the point

House of Leaves is not an action packed book - if you want a light-hearted, book that doesn't require thought, then this is definitely not it. It is however, a book that raises a great many questions about life, perceptions, and the reading and writing process. It demands attention, yet pokes fun of "scholarly" critical editions. It even pokes fun of itself. If you want an intriguing book that is more than fluff, immerse yourself in Danielewski's dark and unusual style.
