Customer Reviews

To whom it concerns

To whom it concerns, My review is, the first thing that caught my eye about the book was the title The Iceman, right away then and there I knew it was some sort of a mystery. Another was when the information said he is more than 4,000 years old, and when it showed a picture of what they think he looked like. By, Abo Boschee

The Iceman

What I liked about this book is when Otzi and the every day objects that were found beside him are unique and wonderfully prserved clues to daily life in a time that has long been mysterious. I also lied when I saw the title, that really caught me.

I thought the book was a good book.I especially liked the pictures. I gave it four stars cause it had no ending

I think it was an excellent book that people should read.

I am 9 years old and in 3rd grade. Mrs. Parrman one of our class readers brought the book and read it today to our class. It was a very astonishing and excellent book. The whole class was fascinated by it because we had never heard of the mummified man at the Alps (Iceman). A man and woman were hiking in the Alps and found this mummy. The scientist brought it down and studied it and found out it was 5,000 to 6,000 years old. The whole class loved it and I know you will too!!
