House of Leaves

The text change within the book fits the characters perfectly. Johnny's informal text and writing fit his personality beautifully. He is a very cut and dry person...he gets right to the point. Zampano's text is extremely formal and is much more difficult to understand. He makes you really think about his ideas and thoughts. His wording is extremely complicated at times and requires you to pick apart his words and ideas.
Another part of the book that I really enjoy is the way he lays out some of the pages. For example, when he puts one or two words on a page to make you flip through the pages faster to make you feel like you are running like the character, moving at a fast pace. It keeps the book interesting and even though the book itself is quite confusing, the odd slants and angled text keeps the reader intrigued.

  1. I agree, the the style of font does help exemplify the make up of a character.
