The story itself was amazing and really provocative. I love the idea that the house was bigger on the inside than the outside and that there were actually two books going on at the same time. I loved that it had a creepy vibe and that it made me measure my rooms just to be sure.
However, the end just kind of dawdled off at the end of the actual story and did not have as big an impact as the idea of the story warranted. Also, all the extraneous internet bullshit with the poems and (sometimes extremely) loosely related content tacked after the end was pretty worthless.
I would definitely recommend it, though. Just skip the Appendix.
