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

Did not finish book. Stopped at 6%.
The physical object of the book is about 100x more interesting than its content. feels like another mediocre male author writing about mediocre misogynistic men who write about other men, and the public getting hyped (as I did when I bought this) from the concept. The writing is Boring, the footnotes are boring, the typeset hurts your eyes and some of the later parts are not even meant to be read.

Edited to add: I forgot the casual mention of a dead and quartered sex worker, on page 3 of the intro, that is there just for flavour and no bearing at all on the story. I don't know why I didn't just stop there.
