This was a fascinating, confusing and frustrating read.

Johnny is boring and annoying. I do feel bad for him but at the same time I don’t. Now, I do feel bad about Johnny’s mom. That was sad to read about.

I loved the story when it followed the Navidson’s. That was exciting and fascinating. It made me question some things. Like… how the house is tied to the mental health of all those that are within the house. I was devastated about Tom and Jed.

Karen I didn’t really like. But that’s just because she is too weak but I was glad that she overcame a struggle for Will.

I do wonder what happened to the cat and dog.

I also think that “Mr. Monster” is a metaphor for the monster within people. Referring to the scene with Holloway during the 8 day exploration.

Also, I wouldn’t state that this was scary. It’s more psychological than horror.

As for my biggest issue with the book. The way a lot of the female side-characters are written and portrayed. It PMO. It was dehumanizing and sexiest. It’s like all the females are nothing more then a males toy and something that pleasures them. Besides Karen.

Interesting and it definitely should be read alongside house of leaves during the letters portion of the book. There is roughly 9 letters in this that are not in house of leaves.
