The Snow Garden Audiobook

" Another Masterpiece by Christopher Rice "

" Terrific plot that keeps building throughout the book. Couldn't put it down except for interruptions by others....I highly recommend this as another great work by the young author Christopher Rice. "

" this book was messed up. but i LOVED it! end of story "

" I quit this pretty quickly after I started. It's his second book and I understand that, I wasn't looking for perfection, but this was just not what I was looking for. It was dry from the get-go and overly sexualized for my taste. I'm not afraid to read about sex, but this just wasn't my style. He's a gay author and he's young and wants everyone to come away with his opinion on things; it was preachy and unrealistic. I do have to point out that the book is not a "gay book" but several gay characters who rise some valid points of view. Maybe I'll pick it up again when I feel like I can tolerate it, but probably not. I read that his other books are much better and so maybe I'll pick up his first novel (I like reading authors first novels) or his third or fourth. He wrote this one during a "personal transition" time and it shows. What I can't get over is the bestseller status and how it must only be because of who his mother is. I hate quitting a book, especially so early in, but I just don't think I could go on. "

" It was my hope that Rice could devliver again after Density came out, but unfortunately fate had something else in mind. It was an obvious sign of his departure toward crime/drama with a gay twist, but it wasn't something expected. That said, it was, in its own right, an interesting book. It speaks volumes that one of my favorites was its predecessor and I can't remember what exactly happens in this book. "

" This is another one of those books that is outside my "norm" that I am used to. I wasn't sure what to think but I picked it up not having anything else to read and I was quickly drawn into the story. I must admit the homosexuality and the promiscuity was uncomfortable for me to read but it also seemed necessary for the storyline. I also thought I had figured out the "who done it" and was pleasantly surprised to find out I was wrong! "

" Good. I like his style. He does not write about vampires like his mother but they are more suspense, and he always has a gay character since he is as well. But he just makes it a charateristic of the charater. Excellent storyteller. HAs been a while since he has come out with a new book. "

" I found this to be Christopher's weakest write. It was poorly edited by his editor, but moreso, the story comes across as implausible, and the main character is not particularly likeable. "

" I love anything by Stan Rice...great story teller. "

" This was a crazy book. I enjoyed the suspense, I just found the twist to be a little strange. "

" Totally enjoyed his second book. this book is great. "

" A bit wordy and long on description, but so many twists and turns. I love it! "

" good but too violent "

" I'm with Jamie. Really enjoyed reading it, but was disappointed in the ending. But I look forward to reading another by C. Rice. "

" another good book by christopher rice, very suspenseful and exciting to read. "

" I felt this was a strong second novel. I was surprised at the twists in the book and loved how vulnerable everyone was. "

" this was a dark book, very good! "

" The Snow Garden was just ok to me. It was a bit slow in the beginning but by the end, it was hard to put down. There was a lot going on and the author jumped from past to present some that lost me along the way. If you are uncomfortable with homosexuality, you may not want to read this. "

" Of his three works of dark fiction thus far, The Snow Garden is Christopher Rice's best. Full of twists and turns, this mystery is gripping and addictive, and it's just so delightfully twisted. "

" Definitely twisted and messed up but entertaining too. While I was reading it I kept getting the feeling that the author was writing with the hopes that the book would be turned into a movie, especially at the end. "

" Wasn't sure about this one at first but I love it. I didn't realize who is mother is until I read a couple other reviews and I'm glad I didn't of I wouldn't have picked up his book. No offense but his others work is well written but beyond boring. He actually caught my attention. "

" I always doubt myself when I dislike a book by a highly-touted, best-selling author, but the subjects and secrets in this book were so unbelievable that I couldn't get into it at all. In addition, it was full of typos and misspelled words, always a killer for me. "

" I have a copy up for trade/sell, prefferably trade. :D "

" The second book by Christopher Rice and as good "Density of Souls." I really like th suspense and gay drama he puts into his books. "

" Somebody had a college class on the Garden of Earthly Delights . . . hilariously awful. "

" I just could not get into this book. "

" Another story I didn't want to end. "

" I really liked this book I think it was more fun then his first one which was a bit confusing/heavy. This was very engrossing and I can’t wait for the next one. Randall, Katherine, and Eric are the main characters. I think I need to read it again to make sure I got it all. "

" A wonderful read. I am IMPRESSED yet again by both his style of writing and the beutiful way he holds together characters. "

" I never read anything written by either of his parents, but this was really quite good considering his age when written. I'll definitely be trying another of his books in the not-too-distant future. "

" I felt this was a strong second novel. I was surprised at the twists in the book and loved how vulnerable everyone was. "

" I have to admit that I wasn't sure about this...my first thought was that it must be easy to get published when your mother in Anne Rice...but this book surprised me. It's beautifully written and the story and plot were strong. I enjoyed it. I'll be checking more of his books out. "

" I found The Snow Garden to be a book that was woven with suspense and became an addictive book once you got past the first few chapters. I would suggest it to anyone who likes suspense. "
