Customer Reviews

loved it

I loved this book. I have read it at least a dozen times, and I never get sick of it. The cold, hard logic used by seth towards the end is amazing, leaving you to reread the last pages over and over again.

Another good book

I read this book after I started reading the Xanth series while I was waiting for the new book to come out. I thought it was very well written and a great story. This is definatly a book I would consider reading again as it's like a good movie, once just isn't enough.

Fantastic! in all meanings of the word!

It's a good book to begin with. It has an original storyline and an ending with a statement on morals that I personally believe or at least, would like to believe. Before I read Through the Ice I had read many other Peirs Anthony novels but was hesitant to read a collaboration. When I read it I was pleasantly suprised at the freshness of the writing. I'm dying to reveal the other reason why I liked this book, but I feel it would ruin it for others. Suffice to say I think that what Anthony did in writing this book is one of the nicest and most touching things I've ever known anyone to do. A good story in itself. After I read this book I felt better about people and life in general. Not saying it's a masterpiece or anything but it's quite good and I can't think of anything really wrong with it which is all I ask of any book. Five stars is my score and I'm sticking to it.

A good all-around juvenile fantasy novel

If you've read Piers Anthony before, you'll see his style all over the place. This book is an easy read, enjoyable, not to serious, well thought out story. You can't tell by reading it that it is a collaboration. Light fantasy at its best.

One of the greatest books I've ever read.

This book was wonderful. I read it for an assignment in school. Afterwards, I was happy I had read it. I've read more than once and each time it's just as good as the first. I recommend this book for anyone who loves fantasy. I've never read any other of Piers Anthony's books but I highly enjoyed this one.
