Underwhelming- although that could be the point ? I felt like I was trapped in a never ending story, almost like the main character travelling through the endless corridors and staircases in the house. The Navidson tapes definitely had been intrigued and that’s what kept me going, I desperately needed to know: what would they find ? But they find nothing. Just endless labyrinth. Remarkably well written and thought out, I skipped the majority of the ramblings and foot notes as I felt they were just there to confuse you. Very frustrating. Yeah, makes you think.
