Alyson Bernero

These chapters were definitely my favorite of the book so far. The hallway has taken its first life and everyone was waiting around for the return of Navidson. Karen is so caught up in everything going on she begins to neglect the children who are very unhappy and crying out for attention and help. The fear of the hallway has definitely taken its toll of everyone. When Navidson finally does return it is clear he is completely changed. Against everyone's wishes he ventures back into the hallway and this time becomes disoriented and cannot find his way out. When he finally attempts to escape the house he only becomes even more lost. At this point I am very interested in whats going on with this house and the hallway. I have a feeling Navidson is going to die, but I can't even imagine what his death would do to an already fragile Karen. Everything is spinning out of control in these later chapters of the book. Its very clear by now that Johnny has gotten way too involved in everything going on around him and is in the middle of going crazy. He lost his job, his house and his sanity and is now a mission to find the home he's read so much about.

Why doesn't Lude get help for Johnny?
When will Karen realize she can't stand by Navidson's actions anymore?
Will Johnny realize that he's going to drive himself mad before its too late?
Will Navidson survive his adventures?
