Book: House of Leaves

with one comment

So let me say this first with a warning, this book is amazing and insane but it seriously f****d me up for like two weeks, I was terrified of everything! Everything around me just seemed really scary, if you are a wimp like me, do not read this book alone at night. You will regret it. Alright, with that said House of Leaves is one of the craziest most unique books I have ever read.

Its sort of like two seperate stories and its hard to tell which story is weirder and more disturbing. But essentially it is based around a house that is bigger on the inside than it is on the outside. That's all I will say.I know I should do a review or something, but in reality I don't really like reviews, I think it takes something away from the reading experience. So just for future reference, I may suggest books to obsess over but I dont think I could really review them, its not fair to the people I recommend them to.

I will say this though, one of the coolest things about the book is how the words are put on some of the pages. Some pages will literally have one word on it, another will have words going diagonal, another will have words going in a spiral. Oh my gosh, seriously even talking about this book right now is seriously creeping me out...
