One of the more difficult and heavy books for me to get through, but at the same time it also tends to be immensely funny and entertaining and beautiful. It feels very real in that regard. It’s so dense and complicated and it feels like nothing is definitive but that’s also really cool man.

I want to say so much about this book but I am not sure how to put everything into words. It’s definitely the deepest and most elaborate book I’ve ever read though, I’m currently reading threads about details in this book and shocked about stuff that is subtly hidden between the lines. What a great book.

Real cool book. Lots to think about. I thought it would be scarier, based on what people told me about it. It’s really more of a love story. I really liked it, and how much it plays with the structure of a novel. Very “meta!”

Reading this book is an experience in itself and the true definition of "it's all about the journey, not the destination". The whole point of this book is not only to let you know about this weird house on Ash Tree Lane, but also to make you question the story, the meaning, the hidden clues...
House of Leaves may not be for everyone or may not change the life of every reader that comes by it like some fans say it does, but no one can deny it is one of the most ambitious and carefully crafted work that exists in book form.
