kathrine_v 's review for:

The Castle of Otranto by Michael Gamer, Horace Walpole
3.0

The first chapter was genuinely great, it gained momentum and then it just kinda... stopped?

The following chapters continued in very strangely narrated dialogues.  And the fact that quite often it felt really cartoony, like something straight out of Scooby Doo, didn't help... Come on, he even included a meddling priest / Friar :D

But it's the first gothic novel and its impact is incredible so that has to be appreciated!
