"Part. Pages are written upside down, theres a page that just contain the letter "P," there is printed braille on a page. Not raised Braille lettering, printed ink dots. I didn't gain any higher enlightenment from this book. I was just bored and had a headache. "

"Ever considered subscribing to Mystery Box? Hunt a Killer? Don't bother. This is all the enigma you'll ever need. Part horror story, part work of visual text-based art. Read it once for the story and a second time simply to marvel at the Lovecraftian unraveling of a mind scrawled in the margins. The book is not something that can be contained within its pages. The House of Leaves is a place you'll visit and revisit, unearthing something new and dark and fascinating every time."

"This one needs to be read in the physical format. Audio and ebook dont work. When words go upside down or sideways, or there are margin notes, you need the real deal"

"My favorite book! It's a book about a book about a video. VERY immersive reading experience which pulls you in and helps set the pace. Absolutely amazing. (not a fan of his other work so far, though đ)"

"This book is unlike anything Iâve ever read, so original. It makes you feel like youâre going crazy along with the main character/narrator. Itâs brilliant and definitely gave me that âhair on the back of your neck is standing upâ feeling "

"This book is wild. I lost sleep over this book. I am afraid of the dark because of this book. I still think about this book ten years after reading it."
