Title: Too clever for its own good
Review: As a dedicated fan of the ghost story in its many incarnations, I expected great things from this book. Perhaps that was my mistake, expecting a "story." Instead, I found that the many annoted footnotes just detracted from the overall effect. This is a brilliant concept and the extreme attention to detail lends some credibility to the genre of overlapping reality and fiction. But the constant distraction of looking here and there at footnotes, half of which are for effect instead of information, made it seem like a thesis, not a novel. And as to the story itself, there's not much there. A great approach theoretically, with potential, but its basically a concept piece and not too engaging a book.
