This is without a doubt the most engaging, stimulating, and revolutionary book I have ever read. I don't know what to say about the plot, because there would be nothing worse than spoiling this book for someone. I guess you could say it's a story within a story within a story. Johnny Truant is one of the most fascinating characters I have ever read of in modern literature.

I think it's interesting that everyone has their own opinion of how the book should be classified. Many claim it is the scariest book ever, while some claim it is a fairly weak horror novel. My opinion is that you make of the book what you make of yourself. Various claims throughout the book explain that the reason Navidson was so fascinated with the house was because it was a challenge, and he had his own issues from his past. So solving the issue of the house helped Navidson come to terms with his own issues. I believe it's the same with the book. The uniqueness of the book will be viewed in different ways for every person. I for one, saw it more as a love story, I guess because of my own romanticism. I was terrified of the house because I'm claustrophobic, and I'm sure there's more deep issues with myself that I'm not even aware of that allow me to look at the book in my own unique way.

Needless to say, this book is deep in a way that is incomprehensible. Most definitely worth a read. You'll definitely feel quite the sense of accomplishment once you finish it.
