THE HOUSE OF MOUNTFATHOM by Nigel McDowell

April 26, 2017

Book cover & rating - THE HOUSE OF MOUNTFATHOM by Nigel McDowell

The House of Mountfathom is a difficult book to review. Personally, I didn’t enjoy reading it very much. On some fronts, it felt like things were missing — as though there was supposed to me more. The premise intrigued me but the execution failed to charm. When I looked up the author, I found out this book was published posthumously. He was in his mid-thirties when cancer took his life. Knowing this, I was tempted to rate The House of Mountfathom for its potential but decided not to. That would skew my rating scale against other books I’ve read.
