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

dark mysterious sad tense slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

2.5

The unique structure of the book was fun, but why do men have to write like that :/ This was so misogynistic it read like satire at points.
