I thought this was a brilliant book from the standpoint that it was something completely original, but it really failed to live up to all of the hype people threw at me about how it would totally change my world view, etc. I found alot of the organization of it to be a bit pretentious and irritating. It was something I'm glad I read because it truly is interesting, but it was almost a forced marched to get through it. It also gets a little heavy handed with the psychological overtones and the juxtaposition of the descent into the house and the descent into the psyche.
