Not sure how to adequately express what I just read, or rather experienced, because this book is most definitely an experience. It's a piece of art. And like all good pieces of art, it has so many layers allowing for so much interpretation. It's complex and original and unlike anything I've ever read before and will probably ever read in the future. This book takes time, devotion, attention, and it asks you to really give of yourself in order to fully experience it. And I think, though it was not always fun to read or a perfect novel by any means, it's one that has made me think, truly dig down and consider myself and my actions and my dreams, more than any other book. And for that I am appreciative. This book came at the perfect time for me as it discusses a lot about identity, especially through the eyes of a soon-to-be college graduate. But on top of that there is the story of loyalty and love and mystery and so much, seriously, so much, happening in this novel that I can't even begin to scratch the surface in this review. If you are at all interested, give it a go. But know that it will test you and push you, and you will come out the other side different but also exactly the same.

Susan's Reviews Thanks for this review: I was debating continuing on with it, but now I will soldier on. I like that my effort will be rewarded, and that I will learn something from it.

Courtney Berry I recognize this is a very old post. However: if you haven’t already, read House of Leaves.
