Now, people keep saying this is such a great book. I have got it, and I have opened it to the first page. Then I panicked. The thing is I hardly ever read proper literature. This looks really dense. Can anyone offer me any reassurances?

No.
Ha ha.
No reaasurance from me. I fell for the hype and bought this book when it first came out. Ooooh, look at the interesting typography. Cooool.
I bought it for my brother too and he read it in the depths of Winter and told me it was superb and the scariest thing he'd ever read, it spooked him for weeks and he couldn't stop thinking about it.
Me? Couldn't get beyond a couple of pages and it sits in my bookcase calling me an idiot. (Metaphorically you understand.)

I read this a few years ago, and initially I was very spooked by the idea that the house could be larger on the inside than the outside. For some reason I found this a very frightening prospect and the book scared me.
The difficulty with all these kinds of supernatural books is explaining the oddities, and the explanation didn't quite convince me, and I was left disappointed.
It did scare me though.

 Wonder where he got his ideas from. The concept behind this book fascinated me when I heard about it, but I still haven't bought it. May do soon though. |

Ftaires! We have found ftaires!
And I loved the bit where the house 'shifts' and they realise that the friend who was just behind them a minute ago is now something like 40,000 miles beneath them. Bizarre and disturbing in ways I didn't even know existed before reading this book.
