Julie Morvitz

This book reminds me of how House of Leaves was written. They are both not ordinary novels; and they have more than one layer of the story. In this book, the writer talks to the reader constantly, which is rare in books. It also goes from one story to another (similar to House of Leaves), because one of the stories being talked about is one that a character is reading in the book. I did think it being written this way was a little confusing, but it is creative and I am willing to read on to see what happens. I am interested in the original story, and why two books got combined into one (or so the main character thinks). It is also strange that one of the books combined together is the book itself, if on a winter’s night a traveler.
