>(Mark Z.) Danielewski appears to be going for a Finnegans Wake vibe in much of the prose, (but he) is o Joyce, and this book reads less like a novel than an art project put together by a college sophomore after his third joint.

>The novel is just the first installment in what Danielewski claims will be a 27-book series. Readers who can make it through the first 50 pages of this one without rolling their eyes might be happy to hear that; those who are turned off by the nonsensical stoner philosophy of this volume, perhaps less so.

>The Familiar is a sprawling mess of a book, and it’s hard to find anything positive to say about it besides that it’s printed beautifully.

House of Leaves has some respect, I don't think anyone like Only Revolutions except for try-hards, and while there was some hype for The Familiar, pretty much no one is talking about it.

Why do people refer to "hivemind" like anyone here agrees?

People might take arguments that things are bad with credulity, but show me a hive that functions on dislike of all things and no established rules or likes whatsoever?
that's the opposite of a hive you fucking retard.
