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

dark mysterious slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

so happy I reread this and it lived up to what I remembered it being when I read it in high school. genuinely changed the way I engage with reading, and continues to be a story I reflect back to on the most random of days. I totally understand why some people cannot get into this book and think it's pretentious garbage but I find it to be simply incredible and I'm so glad it exists
