Ya know, I'm re-reading this right now, and I never know what to think of this book. Is it extremely pretentious? Sarcastic as hell? Love the set-up to the story, though.
I didn't find it very compelling after a point. It was neat I think but didn't quite do much for me after a while (plus the author says we should think of it as a 'Love Story' in some blog post iirc which I found very funny).

I can see where you're coming from, but I think it does what it's intending to do fairly well.

Insanity horror is almost never tried, and when it is, it is almost always from the point of view of an onlooker. Never the protagonist.
The font fuckery may come off as pretentious to some, but I'd call that making the most of the medium.

Man, I really wanna read your thoughts on this, but I'm trying to go in with fresh eyes. I'll come back to this or make a thread when I'm done.
