At the Mountains of Madness

Our group read the book At the Mountains of Madness by H.P. Lovecraft. The book was interesting to read. It was filled with scientific words and terms that I had to constantly look up. It was also a lot more sci-fi then I thought it was going to be. The book starts out pretty slow and gives a lot of background information on the characters and what they are on the expedition to
Antarctica for. After the first few chapters of revealing the characters to the audience, it starts to pick up. There is a lot of suspense in the book as well as mystery that keeps you reading. There are a lot of points that leave you hanging and make you feel like you have to keep reading. Throughout the book they talk about another book called The Necronomicon. I was curious about this book and I googled it and there was actually another wiki page on it. The book is fake and apparently there are other authors in this genre that refer to it as well. It is only referred to a few times throughout the novel, but enough to make you wonder what it is. The link is here for the website with the book on it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necronomicon . I didn’t like the book as much as I thought I would. It was definitely interesting to read though. As far as the group project goes, so far it’s going good. It’s been hard to find some information on the book and what not, but we’re working on it.

I agree that the book is very sci-fi. It is very intersting that you found some information on the book he keeps refering to.

I also agree that the book was a lot of sci-fi stuff which doesn’t interest me very much.
