Blood and Ice Audiobook (Unabridged)

" so far it's slow to get into. good but too much extraneous description. i find myself reading and wanting to skip ahead to get to the meat of the story. Once i got into it, it was good. couldn't put it down b/c i wanted to find out more. "

" I wanted to like this a lot more than I ended liking it. The whole story feels like it's building then never really seems to hit it's peak. If you are looking for a 'vampire' story, this isn't it. This novel is far more concerned with ice, fish and snow than exploring what it means to live forever. There are some beautiful moments and some truly delightful touches but they are all too few and far between. All you are left with is a VERY slow story about the South Pole and it's wildlife. It's well wrote but meandering, it's a story about passion that's passionless, it's a vampire story, about, well, fish. And finally, when the plot takes off, it ends. A huge dissapointment. From a writer who has wrote a book called 'The Rules Of Writing,' he certainly screwed up structure in this piece of work. Sometimes, less is more my friend. "

" I was completely engrossed at the beginning...but a great start degenerated into vampires. Think Big Bang Theory meets Twilight without the adolescent sexual tension. "

" I thought this was a very good book. I loved the love story between Eleanor and Sinclair "

" Adventure, historical and vampire novel all in one. I thought it got sort of sluggish and predictable at the end, but generally I really enjoyed it. "

" This book was pretty good, but there were times when the author would get too detailed on certain things and that made it boring. Over all, it was a good read. "

" A little hard to get into but am hooked now! Was looking for a different ending but all in all a good read. "

" Really interesting at the beginning I couldn't wait to finish it but the ending rather disappointing. "

" What can I say, I'm a sucker for vampire books!! It was good. "

" I would give it 10 stars if I could "

" The ending felt like a hurried wrap-up, but overall this was an engaging story, a different take on vampire legend. "

" Well, it started out fairly well, but started to get too detailed, and then in the middle it definitely started to drag with some repeat scenarios. The end was a little bland, too, but overall I liked the story. "

" This was actually really bad. I'm not entirely sure why I finished it...but i did. What a waste. I honestly tried to like it but it fell so so short. I mean come on...fish blood? "

" It was well written but took to long to get to the point and could have been shorter by a couple hundred pages and still been great. "

" Kind of reminded me of a cross between 'The Thing' and 'Interview With a Vampire' at times. Thorougly enjoyed it. "

" I liked it towards the end, but it was so SLOW getting there... I didn't think it was a thriller like the reviews said and I didn't realize it was about vampires - because it took so long getting there. "

" Ugh. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Good thing I got this one from the library instead of paying money for it. What started off as a great premise, turned ludicrous by novel's end. "

" An interesting twist on vampires , with an added bit of history. Thought the novel was slow to start, it warmed up nicely in the middle and continued to be intriguing to the end. "

" this is a good book its a diffrent take on vampire fiction and i really enjoyed reading it "

" you know, i really wanted to like this novel. i liked the idea of the story, i WANTED to believe in it.... i just got bogged down with details and kept missing the actual story line. very disappointed. :/ "

" An interesting twist on vampires , with an added bit of history. Thought the novel was slow to start, it warmed up nicely in the middle and continued to be intriguing to the end. "

" Poor. Half way through the story, two people return from the dead. I lost interest. "

" I really enjoyed this novel. It had equal parts historical fiction, suspense and a touch of the paranormal. "

" I thought this was a very good book. I loved the love story between Eleanor and Sinclair "

" I waded through all that shite for FISH? Seriously? "

" Cool concept. Story OK. Predictable ending. "

" Excellent, A whole new twist on the Vampire theme, just when you think every variation had been covered, this is a whole new way of looking at it. Well written, cant say it was "edge of youe seat" stuff but very enjoyable. "
