Icebound: A Novel

Even though I'm a big Dean R. Koontz fan, I have to say that Icebound wasn't one of his best novels. For me it seemed that he took an enormous amount of chapters to get into the plot. The plot was certainly interesting, and the suspense was real, but usually, Mr. Koontz will draw me into his story after the first chapter and then I start to read and read. It was refreshing to read a story by him where he didn't bring in paranormal elements; instead, he beautifully shows the drama of the human mind under extreme stress. Still, I'm a fan of Dean Koontz and will continue to read all his books.

It was exactly what I didn't expect. In my freshman year in HS, barely discovering what I liked and disliked about novels (being a former Goosebumps fan, and having read the whole series before moving onto anything not required in school.) I found this a fantastic beginning, along side Phantoms, and I was hooked.

I love this book! Even though I am only 11, and probly don't understand some of it, I still love it! Also, my techer read it to me at my school and I think she may have left out some parts...
