This book is not just an amazing read. It is, if you take the time and make the effort, it is an immersively gratifying experience. First go find Poe's, (the singer and Daniel's sister), album *Haunted*. It is an amazing companion piece to the book. Also this can be read solo but every time i have read the book, including the first and most special time, it has been with a partner. I could go into all the crazy easter eggs and codes within the book but figuring it all out is part of the journey. Here are a couple of bread crumbs for you, (that i don't think you should go to before hand but maybe after or while you are deep into the book), YouTube channel Pelican Black and Night Mind's video essays are wonderful. There are all many different web sits and IRL documents that you should seek as well. Most of the IRL dicuments can be found as scans on said web sites though. My review ends simply, I am extrodinarily envious of anyone starting this adventure for the first time. I have greatly enjoyed going on this trip with loved ones. The first time was the best time not just because I experienced it with my brother who has since passed, but because it was my first step into this house and i have become one of it's guides over time. Holding the door open for others always gives me a sigular thrill. Finally, to be brutally honest, and barring his newest series "The Familiar" i have tried very hard to get into Mark's (wait... I called him Daniel above didn't I? Dammit. I cannot scroll up to fix it... Ah well, fornicate it.), other works and they are just... Well... Not for me. I cant disbarrage the man who gave me House Of Leaves no matter how... Not for me, the rest of his work might be. So stop reading my rambling review and Go! Read the book! Explore the House! Enjoy!

Suitability:GOOD

I used to think that I wasn't fine enough
And I used to think that I wasn't wild enough
But I won't waste my time tryna figure out why you playin' games
What's this all about?
And I can't believe
You're hurting me
I met your girl, what a difference
What you see in her
You ain't seen in me
But I guess it was all just make-believe

I am very careful with my books and was a bit disappointed when I received my delivery. This is a big book, and it came in a box with no protection like plastic or bubble wrap. It was just the book in a box that was big enough to fit three or four of them. As a result, the cover and corners were damaged. :((((( It's quite disappointing, but I can't wait to start reading it nonetheless

So happy this book is finally available in the PH! Had to source out my 1st copy from the UK last 2019 but for some reason, it got ruined a year ago. Now here's my 2nd copy! Thanks Fully Booked. And the delivery was quite fast too! Thanks so much! 🤍🤍
