Emily Skahill

To be honest, i probably would have liked it had i read it in a different situation. I really enjoyed House of Leaves, and i think these two novels are very similar in form. i think if we hadn't read them back to back i would have liked If on a Winter's Night a Traveler. Both were very confusing in structure and i think it was too much for me at points. The stories are interesting as well as the main narrative in If on a.." and i really think if i wasn't so frustrated i would have enjoyed it more. it was just difficult to read it with an open mind after such an intense novel before it.
