I enjoyed this more than the 'pilot' and the strands of stories simmer along nicely in this volume. I still have reservations about the body of work: mainly whether it will continue to deliver satisfactorily over so many volumes. Listening to the Game of Thrones audiobooks currently, I am drawing parallels between the two works and their 'worlds'. I can't shake the feeling that George R.R Martin's feels more accomplished but what I like about Into the Forest is that it is perhaps how it must/should be for a world set in the modern day; encapsulating much of a modern life that is broad and in some ways unfamiliar. I once again wish to apply the caveat that Mark Z Danielewski is most probably operating on a much higher intellectual plain than I so it will no doubt be amazing. It has inspired me to buy volume 3 anyway so I'm definitely sticking with it and it's nice to read alongside the Facebook group (check them out if you're on it too!). I think also I'd like to hear the author speak more about the work too as I've heard snippets of interesting things that he's said in discussion. All in all an intriguing read that still has me strapped in for the ride 👍🏻
To be fair: 3.5-3.75. Still so much unexplored and unexplained. I guess that’s what the other 19 volumes will be for. Onward!
Not quite as gripping as volume 1 but still an amazing, creative, twisty tale with more questions than answers. We get to know "the little one" a bit more in this book, and the things we learn are creepy in a "why is that creepy" way. It's hard to explain. Kind of like how David Lynch can make viewers uncomfortable by focusing on a person crying just a few seconds longer than they're accustomed to. For me, the creepiest detail was the microchip. Microchips are never implanted in few-weeks-old kittens, and on top of that, it was a chip registered to a dog that died some time ago...W...T...holy...F?! So much for little white cottonballs that still have not opened their eyes.
And huzzah, connections between disparate characters are starting to be made! It's coming together. Slowly, but it's happening.
Creepy, cool, and awesome. On to volume 3.

This whole serie would need a brand new shelf but I am clueless what to call it.
I am prepared with volume 3 and 4 waiting.
