House of Leaves by Mark Danielewski is a creature of a book, impossible to categorize and describe by conventional means. The plot is deceptively simple- a young man discovers among a dead man’s possessions the remnants of notes for a book he was writing. The book this older man was working on is a...
I'm not quite sure what I just read.On one hand, this is a haunted house mystery. On the other hand, it is a family drama. On a third hand (or on a foot), it is a story by two men(?) who may be losing it.But parts of it are quite scary. Do not read in ebook format.It takes a bit to get into. But onc...
This sort of reminds of what my writing journal looks like. I start a story, then another, then continue, then add a box to add something witty I thought of. At first glance this looks like a jumbled mess written by someone off their meds, but it's good. It takes a lot of concentration. Though, no...
I just finished this book moments ago, and it may be one I have to separate myself from for a while before I can articulate any of my thoughts and feelings about it. But I will say this: this definitely ranks as one of the most fascinating, creative, mind-bending and thought-provoking books I will n...
This book came highly recommended by my nephew. I would have to agree it is one of a kind. It juxtaposes (I would not say blends) multiple story lines that are somewhat the same story, they are definitely all related. One story is someone slowly losing their mind due to reading a recounting of...
So here is the thing readers, this is the first time ever I am going to say, do not buy this in e-book format. I am still mad days later that Barnes and Noble does not allow you to return purchased Nook books that have been opened/downloaded. I had several comments about the book they sold not actua...
I've read this book multiple times. It's more like, I've read The Navidson Record multiple times. I can really do without the ribald tales of Johnny's very-straight-dude sex life/fantasies.
I don't even know what angle to come from with this book. I wanted to give it an in depth review as it deserves such. I saw this book while at Forbidden planet I've been wanting to buy it for ages so i got it there and then.I think this book is going be one of this book's that stays with me the re...
For me, story is king. No matter what else an author wants to put into his book, if the story fails to satisfy, then the book won't work for me. This is part of the reason why, when I first attempted to read this book some seven or eight years ago, I ultimately abandoned it. It was too much form ...
Quod evenit in labyrintho properantibus:ipsa illos velocitas inplicat.Good grief Danielewski, what have you done to me? There was a time when I may, on occasion, have been capable of at least some form of coherent thought and possibly even formulated constructive ideas. But then I picked up this bo...
