Chapters 17-20

I thought this reading was very light and for the most part easy to read.  The only part that I found scary and disturbing was the part with Karen towards the beginning.  Her face suddenly appeared on the camera in the kid's room like someone was watching her.  It scared me.  I think it's weird how the pages are set up.  Especially when the words are in the corner and when you have to read up the page instead of down.  But, some of the set up makes sense because the words are going up as he's climbing or they're getting wider as the walls are getting wider.  It's strange how the labyrinth is set up because when Navidson was on his bike, he was always going downhill even if he turned in a different direction.  It's also weird that he seems to be floating.

Discussion Questions:
1. Why are the pages set up like that?
2. How is it possible that Navidson is burning the book while what he is doing took place before the book was created?
3. Is Johnny's story done?
4. What's going to happen to Will?
