The Castle of Otranto

The Castle of Otranto was a very interesting read. It was billed as the first Gothic story which made me interested in reading it. It had it's "gothic" moments but overall was not as much as I have gotten used to reading gothic novels of today. This book was an interesting read and the characters were all well written and you cared what was going to happen. The pages of this book moved quickly and even though it was longer than some of the other stories that I have read lately it was a quicker read. I do not think I would ever read this story again but it was an interesting book and I can definitely see why it would be on the list!
