Well, I can say one thing, this book is definately different. I think after weighing all the pros and cons this book would make a good class book. The plot can be interpreted many different ways depending on the individual reader, allowing them to draw their own conclusions...it's not just laid out for you in any concise format.
At this point I can honestly say that Truant has hit rock botton. He's reduced himself to a drifter that had definately drifting between the real world and a perceived reality. I know some people have assumed that his mother is the actual author, but I just didn't see it. Getting back to the Navidson story, Karen finally realized that she loved Will desperately and decides to face her fears about the Labrynth. Upon entering, she finds Will and brings him out (by virtue of the labrynth just "dissolving" anyway). Afterward they finally get married and try to move on, despite the fact that Will has been physcially handicapped by the labrynth.

1. How did Karen manage to find Will so fast?

2. I know he beat Gdansk man to death, but did Johnny ever kill Kyrie?

3. What was the deal with Will's feet?

4. Where did the story about the baby fit in?
