You missed out! She reveals something pretty insane in the code. I won’t ruin it, and for the record, there are a great deal of codes throughout the book that you really have to dig deep for. Some of the book’s structure can be coded into morse in order to answers questions throughout other parts of the book. I read this alone and it sucked me in for a matter of months. You have to be ready to absorb a lot of information, though.

This book is an amazing one that has the most intricate care and details. Its post modern approach is a big step in literature and it is very addictive. I have not had as much emotion when reading a book as I did when realing HOL. Everytime something creepy is being described it makes you want to check over your shoulder. As people said you can read it over and over and find something new. We actually read this one in an english class and most of the kids were like some of the reviews here, “It seems like too much work” etc. etc. You have to want to enjoy it and care enough to take the time, but just because you’re not willing to, doesn’t mean that the author failed at his attempts. If read with interest and not like a chore, you will enjoy the book for what it is….

(No joke: Some may have trouble sleeping for weeks at a time, their first time reading)

This is one of my favorite books ever. I was mesmerized when I first picked it up shortly after it was released (I happened upon it as a fan of his sister's music) and re-read it every few years. There's always something new to discover in it. <3 .-= Laura´s last blog ..Book Review: The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde =-.

You know, at some point I remember wanting to try to read this book. You've convinced me not to. I tried reading another Danielewski book a couple of years ago and didn't get past 20 pages. It was bizarre. I think his efforts at being experimental just don't work for the vast majority of readers out there. .-= Wendy´s last blog ..Why Join Reading for a Cure? =-.

This book has been on my TBR list forever! I think I’ll wait a bit longer though – I just finished a difficult, mind-bending book so I think my head needs a rest.

I remember looking at this after Andi read it and loved it. And I confess, I just didn’t get it!! I’m impressed you made it through reasonably intact.

I really hate working hard to get thru a novel … and this one sounds exactly like one that will go way over my head
And 700 pages, that is enough to make me put the book back
