meliha 's review for:

The Castle of Otranto by Horace Walpole
2.0

This book was so oder the place. The pacing was weird. Every reveal seemed to come out of nowhere with no Build-up. The events campe after another without smooth transition. Its a pioneer of gothic novels but of course it was not scary. The old men were disguisting. It could have helfend if this had a central character we followed. This feel Like the novel Version of a play- and i dont enjoy plays much. I couldnt grasp and meaning in this. Maybe any message went over my head because I was too diguisted by the old men trying to marry each other daughter.
