Incredibly Suspenseful!
Rating  (5)
Date: 2008-09-12
I honestly could not put this book down from start to finish. This book was a bit different than many of Koontz's books in that it had no horror or no bizarre characters that he writes so well. Instead, it was just flat out non-stop suspense from beginning to end. Wow! It really was incredible.
I love Dean Koontz, but this book surprised me in a good way. I was just blown away.
It is definitely worth reading. Give it a try, and if you like this one, read Intensity by Dean Koontz next.

I don't know if I would recommend this all of my friends but I enjoyed the read.
Some folks have complained about how absurd the premise of the book it (capturing ICE bergs for the desert) and maybe it is.. but hey, who cares if it is a little far fetched.. It was a "good" time in the frozen north. The Russian sub was a good addition... although I got caught thinking about how they could have tried to rescue them more easily :-)
Anyhow, it you enjoy a little drama and a slight amount of sci-fi, you will like this book.

I was dissapointed in Icebound. This may have been a fair book for many writers, but I expect more from Dean Koontz. This was a mild and boring attempt. Not what readers have come to expect from Dean Koontz.

This book was excellent. I found it a refreshing change from traditional Koontz books. The imagery he promotes through his words literally left me chilled...in a good way, however. I placed myself in the situation of being stuck in bitter cold on an iceberg in the North Pole, and it creeps me out. I just imagine the bone-chilling weather, and it brings the story alive. A great story recommended to all of the avid Dean Koontz readers out there...be sure to include this oldie in your reading!

Not What You'd Expect

I've been a major Dean Koontz bent for a few years now... and must say-- of the several I've read so far-- this is the weakest.
The characters are not as complex or deep as most Koontz characters... and Koontz spends a lot of time detailing the setting that I think the characters seem to get lost all the more. I just never quite felt a connection to the characters.
As other reviewers have mentioned, this is less of a wild, highly creative book by Koontz and more of a good, old-fashioned novel.
In the note to readers at the end of the book, Koontz does tell readers that this is not his usual style.
