At the Mountains of Madness by H.P. Lovecraft

2.0

I’m so surprised that my rating for this book turned out to be so low. The narrator’s voice is great! The story started off strong for me too. Honestly thought I was going to give a 4 star rating. So what happened to change that? I hit chapter 5 in the audiobook... Chapter 5 has to be the most boring part of the entire book. Sadly it was about 31 minutes long and the book lost its magic for me. Talking about rock formations and striations along with petrified wood just wasn’t interesting for that long a time. I get that these two are geologists and this mattered to them and the information shows how much Lovecraft gave to his story. Sadly, I never fully regained my interest in this story. I pretty much slogged my way through the story for the narrator but I found myself zoning out near the middle and near the end because the emotion behind the voice seemed to remain the same. (I'm sorry Edward Herrmann! I love you and always will but I have to be honest.)

Narrator: 3.5 stars
Story: 2 stars
Overall: 2.75 stars
