A review by wjlongiii
At the Mountains of Madness by H.P. Lovecraft
3.0
With a story as revered as this, there isn't much to say that hasn't been said a dozen times in the near century since it was first written.
For me Lovecraft is continually the master of intriguing concepts with an oddly emotionless prose style. An odd mix that is undeniably unique.
This is not my favorite work of his, but as I had heard so much about it, I wanted to read it for myself. While I did find a massive chunk of the story dry and largely uninteresting, I have no regrets experiencing it for myself.
