### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A bit of a psychological thriller.....
  

*by B***R on Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2018*

Nightmares super-imposed upon a bitter and terrifying reality, in which the world is about to be obliterated by rapid-onset ice age...or so it seems. Someone has accidentally set off some kind of extinction level event that involves glaciers, but also possibly mutants and monsters. Ultimately, the tale of a stalker, successful, against a backdrop of immediate global annihilation? Interesting read, all in all. A nightmarish unreality to it all; kind of gets into your head. Brrrrr! A bit creepy, quite surreal. Not overly long. Worth reading.

    Ice (Peter Owen Modern Classic)
  

*by C***E on Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2015*

I started reading this quite a while ago and ended up putting it aside because I couldn't "gel" with it. I came back to it two days ago and ended up "falling" into this haunting, desolate and surreal story. The picture of a bleak and fragmented apocalyptic world is vivid and uncompromising, but it is the relationship  between the unstable narrator, the sinister "warden and the waif like and ethereal "girl" which is fascinating and compelling reading ..........and then there is the ice.The novel itself is written with a sense of urgency, pervading doom. I can't give this novel any higher accolades, except to say that 5 stars doesn't seem enough. A story that will haunt your peace of mind.

### ⭐⭐ 







  
  
    If I only knew…
  

*by R***R on Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2018*

Note: This review contains spoilers.The good:Ice by Anna Kavan is written in a superb style that makes virtually any New York Times bestseller look like a mediocre freshman paper.  This is the only reason I gave the book two stars.The bad:The book is rife with unnecessary descriptions and distractions that can be quite tedious.  The narration can be confusing because the protagonist daydreams, and his visions are weaved into the storyline in a stream-of- consciousness style.  At times, the reader is left wondering whether certain events are actually happening or being imagined.  The characters are unreal and uninteresting.  The protagonist is torn apart by inexplicable passions.  There's an annoying warden who keeps popping up randomly throughout the book.  It's unclear what it all means.The ugly:The storyline is at best flimsy and at worst nonexistent.  The title and the beginning of the book are misleading in that they imply it’s about an ice storm of cataclysmic proportions.  However, the bulk of the book is about a noble-hearted man looking for a frail and miserable woman who had escaped from a very difficult marriage.  The story drags on for too many pages without much happening and the impending ice storm never materializes.  The protagonist simply says in the end of the final chapter that he “knew there was no escape from the ice.”  What a bummer!  If you’re expecting a suspenseful and exciting read about a devastating natural disaster or a science fiction thriller, you’ll be sorely disappointed.
