House of Leaves

[StripesAndFins]

Has anyone read or even seen this book? I just got it in the mail and it is insane! the pages are messed up with some pages full and some with only 1 word per page! Some pages are split into columns with a box in the middle and on column reads left to right, one column reads sideways, sometimes the only way to read it is to look at it through a mirror! also some of the words are crossed off and it's just all messed up. Anyone ever seen a book like this?

will try to get pics soon 🙂

That sounds cool. 🙂 Can't wait to see pics of it, I might try to get it.

Due to the fact that my camera is broken, I can't personally take pics of the book, but I took some from Google Books.

Will try to give more updates as i read it. I have read that the book is as scare as hell, so can't wait to start!

P.S. This book isn't good for young people as I only flipped to one page and saw f**k used twice. so if you dislike swearing, don't read it 😛

That looks crazy. I probably won't end up reading it due to me being a chicken. 😛

 

[StripesAndFins]

Hey, if I can read it, so can you 😛

When I am done, i will be doing a review for it on my blog (in my sig under the spoiler) so after you read that, then figure out if it is too scary for you 🙂

Hey Wolfy! Nice find buddy. I had a look at your links to the pages and it looks like it could get a little difficult to read at times.

But I'm gonna look into this one i think. *opens Google*
I can't wait to see that review of yours - some people say its a good horror, some say its a love story.. Hard to know what to make of it.

How's the book going so far? Would you recommend it to someone else based up how much you've read so far?

Wow it looks confusing.

So far it's good, but I am only to page 20 or so. I'll say something though, not for those who don't enjoy swearing or under the age of 13. I have come across p***y, f**k, s**t, and a lot of others at least 10 times, a majority of it F**k and similar words.

It's hard to recommend it so far since it is a little boring, but I am hoping it get's better and scarier as I read on.

Fair enough.. Sometimes books are a little slow in the beginning but turn out amazing, so you never know yaknow?

I'm not really fussed by foul language all that much, my general group of friends don't seem to actually know any other kinds of words so yeah 😛

Thanks for the heads up though, you gotta lemme know how it is when you're all done 🙂

 

[StripesAndFins]

Will do, my friend is the same way 🙂

Thanks for the warning but next time, just say it contains excessive swearing or vulgar language. 🙂

Most books start out boring, so it should get better as you go. 🙂

 

[StripesAndFins]

Ok, sorry 😛

 

[MissTake]

Sounds interesting Wolfy, can't wait to hear your final review on it, I just hope the storyline matches up to the novelty of the prose 🙂

 

[StripesAndFins]

me too. misstake 🙂

 

[Deleted member 7467]

Wolfy, how's the book so far?

 

[StripesAndFins]

Well so far it's ok, but some of it's hard to follow as it is like 2 stories at once: 1 is the narrator's story and the other one is about a family who originally owned the house. but it is still pretty good 🙂
