Yes
The way page layout is played with, feels like a puzzle, traversing the book I was on a trek with the explorers inside it. The plot at the centre of the stories was tense and exciting- after a lifetime of being scared of the outside of my house I'm now also scared of the inside of my house, so that's great🙂
Johnny Truant was so uninteresting and his parts were such a slog to get through and went nowhere. Skippable.
Finding out that Navidson's prize winning photo he feels shame over is based on a real event, I feel it is treated much too flippantly. So much focus on the 'talented, brave, good man' photographer and his guilt, far away from the real victims of famine
