A review by brannonkirkhuang
House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski

Did not finish book. Stopped at 7%.

I don’t believe that the character who “found” the book would actually take the time to read through it, organize it, find translations, sort out the footnotes, and write about his sexcapades and weird friend in new footnotes of his own making. I simply don’t believe that he has that in him. I know many reviews have talked about how deeply unsettling and disturbing this book is, but it didn’t hit that way for me at all. It’s just too overstuffed for the sake of being overstuffed.
