House was probably one of the weirdest love stories I've ever read. It was cute in an odd way; so I won't lie, when Karen saved Navidson, it was very good way to end the book. And the house disappearing, I guess I would say it's symbolic but in a way I can't completely explain. The fact that the house disappeared and they ended up in the middle of the woods wasn't surprising however it tied the title and the book together (although the novel started to do that, this finale really tied up loose ends well.) However I'm still confused in calling the labyrinth a part of hell because hell is supposed to teach and repremend people of their wrong doings but still they didn't die...at least not literally, maybe symbolically. It's ironic and comical how Chad wants to become an artitect.

Anyways, it's such a strange "happy" ending as the novel calls it. Good book!
