At the Mountains of Madness by H.P. Lovecraft
3.0

I have a hard time rating this, because it left me with such mixed feelings. First of all, this is my very first time reading Lovecraft. My first impression, based on this, is that he had a wonderful sense of imagination. I was really drawn to the mythological elements of the story. However, I found the surrounding story mostly an excuse to get to that part. I was intrigued and filled with a sense of dread from the very start, but that feeling never evolved into anything deeper. I am definitely going to explore more of his work, though.
