review 1: I didn't read the comments on Amazon before I got the book. I usually do when I'm indecisive on whether to waste my time reading a book everyone says sucks. This one's description intrigued me enough that I just got it and tried it. THANK GOODNESS!When I decided to write a review, which I don't always do, I glanced at some of the other reviews and was shocked!Ignore them. The dialogue was fine. Yes, I could semi-guess the ending. Big whoop.I thought the dialogue was fine and never noticed a thing abnormal about it while I was reading. Sure I could kinda guess the outcome-Don't the good guys/main character usually conquer all?What I could not guess was all the twists and turns and graphically described events that occurred during the story. Everything was so plausible, I ha... mored no doubt this situation could happen.Did you know an Iceberg flipped? I didn't. (And I sure as heck wouldn't want to be on one when it did!)Can you imagine finding an animal or human or even a fish flash frozen in an iceberg? You betcha-why not?Can you imagine the total incompetence displayed by those supposedly "in charge" that could cause another Titanic-like wreck? You betcha-it's happened before and I deal with those that are "supposedly" professionals and display very unprofessional behavior all the time.I felt the cold. I felt the paralyzing fear. I was literally on the edge of my seat as I read the last 50 pages. I could not do anything else until I finished it and found out what happened. And the "dun, dun, dun.." ending .... *shivers*.Ignore the overly critical reviews and get the book-you won't regret it!
review 2: The dialogue was cheesy, the characters little more than cardboard cutouts and ethnic stereotypes (including an extremely well-educated Chinese doctor who nonetheless cannot speak anything more than pidgin English),and the writing style, particularly during supposedly tense scenes came off as little better than ham-handed campfire narration. As a campy, mindless diversion, it was endurable, but I wouldn't recommend it. less
