It has taken me quite a while to develop a review for this and I still don't really know where to begin. i guess the most obvious is a good place to start. Would I recommend it? Absolutely! Even if it's a trip you don't happen to particularly enjoy or understand, it is still a crazy and worthwhile trip.

I don.t really get it. I don't think I'm at the level of complete misunderstanding that a lot of readers of this book are, but I don't feel like I completely understand it - in fact, I don't think it's possible to completely understand it - and that frustrates me. I like to understand. I like to take a long journey between the covers of a novel and have all my questions answered by the end of the story. House of Leaves does not do that. House of Leaves laughs in your face when you suggest that, maybe, you would appreciate it if it would do that.

I feel that I could make this review either ridiculously long, filled with pointless tirades on the things I liked, disliked and didn't understand, but I don't think anyone would get much out of that, so I'll end with this. This is a book you're going to have to read to believe.
