> House of Leaves was GOAT

All I can say is try one volume and see if you like it. If so, continue with each volume until you dislike it. I really don't believe a 27-volume series would be consistent and all that enjoyable but I suppose I'm not part of Mark Z's demographic either.

It has some great moments. As unsettling, unnerving, and fast paced like in HOL, but it has plenty of flaws. The quality of the art in terms of craft is not great, shit looks like it was made in powerpoint sometimes, other times it works really well. There's a lot of characters with different voices and styles which are done well, but MArkyMark had the genius idea of writing dialogue in slang which can be terrible. The first one is sort of a set up, it gets going in the second volume. Havent read the third yet.

>Is the Familiar worth reading?
absolutely not. read half of the first volume and it was horrendous. all the worst aspects of House of Leaves (gimmicky Federman-lite concrete prose, cliche dialogue, gaudy visuals) amplified to the nth degree, across TWENTY SEVEN fucking volumes at $20 each ($540 total). won't be surprised if the publisher drops the project halfway through because i cant imagine many people except the most ardent Danielewski fanboys sticking with it

It's nowhere near finished. Who's up for another George RR Martin?
