Rebeccah Giltrow (rebeccah_giltrow) | 76 comments At 709 pages I think this is the longest book I've ever read! But it was well worth it. What would you do if your house grew a new doorway?

I've been waiting for summer classes to end in order to start this. I know I don't want to try and read it while distracted or traveling to campus. But I'm so excited to start it now that I have a week left of classes.

I'm happy to hear someone liked it!


Sophie (sawphie) This book looks completely mad and therefore is sparking my curiosity like crazy! I'm going to order it after my holidays because I'm kind of compelled to read it soon ;)

The reviews are very intriguing! It's backstory is also very interesting :)


Erica | 214 comments I read it for the scary book week and loved it so much! Don't be put off by the length… some pages only have a few words. By far the weirdest book I've ever read but definitely a new favourite!

Yes, you really do need to have a distraction free time to read this. It's quite confusing so you need to be able to focus on it!

It is mad! But it works so well. I'm glad I read it.

The length did worry me, but it was fairly easy to read and some bits zoomed past very quickly.
