__At the Mountains of Madness__ by H.P. Lovecraft is a novel that takes place in the Mountains of the Himalayas. The story is written in first person perspective by the geologist William Dyer, a professor at Miskatonic University. On a previous expedition to America, a party of scholars from the university discovered horrific ruins and a dangerous secret beyond a range of mountains. The group that discovered and crossed the mountains found the remains of 14 ancient life forms, but the problem is that the remains are unknown to scientists, which makes the geologists intrigued. The story takes off from there and looks extremely interesting to read because of the topic and because we don't know what to expect next. This is a book that I’ve been interested in for awhile. Since this book pertains to the high mountains of the Himalayas and possible horrific secrets that lie in them, I am extremely interested. I have seen many movies that are like this where people go explore someplace they have never been before and at the end they wind up going missing. Reading a book like this that I personally find the topic interesting will now provoke me to read more. The characters are scientists who examine difference types of specimen. This book was also recommended by many experts and was has gotten great reviews. Not only is the setting interesting but the science part of the book. I’ve always been interested in science fiction novels and this book is the perfect choice, and hopefully will be full of conversation at the book meetings. Although this book may seem to be made for someone to read for fun and not for school, well this book helps our imaginations grow as readers and writers. Books like this book allow us as students to expand our imagination and become much more creative when writing pieces. Thousands of novels that have been written from //Of Mice and Men// to //Montana 1948// are from authors using there imaginations and creativity they have developed from reading other creative novels. Many people feel the same way about this book and understand how the author is very descriptive in his writing and creativity which allows the reader to paint a picture in his/her head. One reader of this novel said "Lovecraft is, as always, great at descriptions in setting and atmosphere," Amber from goodreads.com/reviews. Many other people had great things to say about this book including one reader writing a review saying "I think that I have to give this story 5 stars because I feel like it is one of the strongest cornerstones of Lovecraft's Mythos, and therefore a must-read if you are going to delve into many other Lovecraft horrors," said Jessie from goodreads.com/reviews. Like many of the other reviews, this book is full of creativity which is one of many reasons you should allow us to read this book.
