Meh. I found HoL to be extremely over-rated, and more gimmickry than meaningful content. I got the impression that Danielewski was trying way harder to write "a post-modern novel" or "an ergodic novel" than he was trying to write "a good novel". That is, the focus was too much on the gimmicks: the multiple narrators, the typography/layout stuff, etc., as opposed to being a genuinely compelling story.
