Helpful Score: 3

This is a very complicated book to read. The main story itself is about a family that moves into a house that is much larger on the inside than it would appear on the outside.

Be forewarned, however, this book is not easy to read, and will require patience. It is worth the journey, however. There are a number of different font types used in printing this book, each with it's own separate storyline. There are also a number of languages used, including Hebrew, Latin, French, German, and Braille; translations are provided. As you might have guessed, it contains a (fictional) film narration, within a story, that is in itself within another story. Things can get very confusing very quickly. Also, the text is 'enhanced' with the author's own footnotes and editorial comments. Lastly, the text is printed forwards, backwards, upside-down, and backwards. (It serves to enhance the story and will make sense to you)

If you can get through all of this, you'll find a really interesting, hair-raising story, not for reading in the dark!
