First, I love that kind of book, odd,spooky,different...but I think that
all of the digressions and subplots actually detracted from the story.
I understand why the author did that..added realism etc, but I feel that the story itself
was sidetracked by too MUCH of that. Also, I think it would make a GREAT movie if done documentary style and focused on the actual incidents in the house. How about Aronofsky (sp?) directing?
Your opinions?
