Wow, what to say... First I read the book by Straka, going back to read the margins and I wound up rereading a lot of the book. I love the experience of reading the two stories and all the extras in the book. Furthermore I love all the internet activity on www.radiostraka.com (podcasts), whoisstraka.wordpress.com and www.eotvoswheel.com. It makes for a reading experience like no other. I greatly recommend this book, mostly to experienced readers but also to people who don't shun new ways to incorporate different media and are up to the challenge.

It's a good book. It'll definitely take more sleuthing and digging around to get to the bottom of everything, especially considering how much is left unanswered but I kind of expected that going in- especially after finding extra "inserts" online. Overall, it was really fun to go through amd read everything and piece stuff together.

i fear i am going to be annoying about this book forever. i’ve never read anything like it & doubt i ever will — the layers of the story, the annotations (with their own story), the footnotes, the codes, the inserts??? my god!! this was incredible. i cannot wait to reread

incredible form, extremely enjoyable and fascinating book. did feel like the book didn't fully explore the depth of the characters with the freedom that the annotated form gave. was a huge fan of ship of theseus itself by the end. loved the ephemera. overall extremely cool and i hope more books do this

I might come back to this one day as it's not uninteresting but it's also not really holding my attention right now.

This book is made up of a central story and notes from two people in the margins. Reading it really feels like an experience and there is a mystery element trying to be solved. I also like that the main story would still be good on its own, though the shtick of this is that you’re following Eric and Jen’s story too.
I would love more books like this, as I am a huge fan of outside of the box stories, like House of Leaves for example.
