Review: Experimental writing done right, and how! - It is very rare for a book to have its characters live beyond the pages, and at the same time let it transcend its own genre into something else. House of Leaves does that, and more. At its core, House of Leaves is many things; a horror novel, a narrative of a schizophrenic, a metaphor for loss in life. But what the reader is treated to from page one is a complex narrative which includes everything from the analysis of the character psyches, to the historical and philosophical ramifications of the anomaly that is the house. If Danielewski has intended to blur the borders of reality and fiction, he nails it with hordes of detail that borders on factual accuracy. And it does what a typical scare-fair can fail to do; it scares you. The book is very difficult to read, with the haphazard angles of printing (an analogy to the spatial perversions in the story) and several footnotes and appendices. But in many ways, that is what makes it a jaw-dropping page turner. The book has its fair share of unanswered questions - questions which give you a new perspective with each rereading, the reason for its cult status and several online discussion boards regarding the underlying themes. The best way to summarize is perhaps a line from the book itself, told by one of the band musicians to Johnny Truant. 'Take a look. But be careful. It will change your life.' Review: Absolutely must buy - I saw some reviews where users didn't got full color edition and I was little disappointed and still I placed the order, and to my surprise I got full color edition and it's totally worth it, am currently on page 50 and one thing I would like to conclude here that this book is different, VERY different, it's definitely unsettling, I mean to the pages where there isn't anything scary, it still gives chills to my spine and my heart always races everytime I grab this book, it's not a regular book, and as mark says, 'this is not for you' Trust me he meant it ## Features - Physical Condition: No Defects ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #10,564 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #61 in Horror (Books) #161 in Thrillers and Suspense #634 in Contemporary Fiction (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 13,381 Reviews | ## Images ![House of Leaves - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/711hUvzvB7L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Experimental writing done right, and how! *by N***S on 17 June 2017* It is very rare for a book to have its characters live beyond the pages, and at the same time let it transcend its own genre into something else.
