I'm a big fat copy cat, just saying what every other review said, and yet it's accurate: this book is

Neverwhere +
Eternal Sunshine of I'm a big fat copy cat, just saying what every other review said, and yet it's accurate: this book is

House of Leaves +

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind +
Jaws

I would also throw in just a smidgen of Being John Malkovich.

And I have already cast the movie- James McAvoy and Lizzy Caplan. you're welcome, Hollywood.

I may have more to add later. ...more

review

If you take the movie "The Brothers Bloom" and stir it together with the book "House of Leaves", then stick it in a blender with a set of deformed Rus If you take the movie "The Brothers Bloom" and stir it together with the book "House of Leaves", then stick it in a blender with a set of deformed Russian nesting dolls, then put it under your pillow and dream it, you might come up with an approximation of this book.

And that's the best I can do to explain it. :) This is a series of stories within stories within stories, all of which feel very much like a dream because they follow no real sense of logic. But it's fun and it's whimsical and it's engaging, and there are so many lines that made me laugh out loud. This book was totally worth reading. Too bad I had a library copy and couldn't fold pages or highlight paragraphs or I'd include some quotes in this review. ...more

review

Wow. I just finished this book and my head is spinning. I could probably read this book a dozen times and still not truly understand it, but it defini Wow. I just finished this book and my head is spinning. I could probably read this book a dozen times and still not truly understand it, but it definitely took me on a journey and I think that's the point.

I will not repeat the plot or premise here - there is plenty of that in other reviews. Nor will I attempt to write any kind of academic or intellectual analysis. Mostly because I just don't think I'm smart enough to do it justice. Also because one of the main functions of the book was to be a satiric commentary about just such critical analyses, though it practically screams out for it. One could easily attend a college course, an entire semester devoted to discussion of this book and barely scratch the surface.

So what I will say is this. This book is challenging, engaging, haunting, sad, beautiful, heartbreaking, scary as HELL, and one of the most incredible reading (or other) experiences you will ever have. My head is still spinning. ...more
