Emily Skahill

i really can't stand this novel. I really hate when things don't have a beginning, middle, and an end. it's really annoying to me. House of Leaves had an end, maybe not a very conclusive end, but still an end. And, i just don't like how the stories start and stop, never giving you enough yet leaving just enough for you to be angry that they aren't finished. i really don't care about the "Reader" anymore. the reader is clearly not me. I would not develop a sick obsession with finding a central story within different stories like the author. i think it is ridiculous and the author should get a life and stop annoying me. this book is trash, i don't understand why people like it.
