This is not a book I would normally read, however, because I’m taking a Summer School subject called “People’s Leisure Reading” for uni, I’m reading a whole heap of things I wouldn’t usually touch with a ten foot barge pole.

Ice Station is set mostly in Antarctica, sometime in the late 1990s. The books is about a group of American Scientists who find a “spaceship” buried under the ice. The Scientists have a theory that it’s an alien spaceship, or the remains of a civilisation from a zillion years ago. This information is seen as being something of national importance by the Government of the United States of America, who sends a reconnaissance unit down to the Antarctic Station to secure the site. What follows is one of the most ridiculous chain of events that I have ever read. The novel is written like a hollywood action film where the hero is shot, beaten, mutilated, killed and yet still comes back over and over again to save the day. The novel is
entertaining from the point of not having had to pay anything to read it (it’s from the library) and from the point of total disbelif that an Australian author could write such absolute nonsense. The book is totally unrealistic and unbelivable. But if you like the idea of monsters, aliens, killer whales and military action i’d recommend it.

In response to a review about Fight Club (the book):

Books are always better than the movie (unless the movie came first in which case it generally sucks).

I’ve also read Survivor and his latest Choke. Haven’t read Invisible Monsters, yet.

What to say about them. They’re odd. I had bad dreams after reading Survivor. I actually read both novels on plane trips and I have to say they really do make your trip go a heck of a lot faster. If you’re reading Choke, watch out for people looking over your shoulder, it’s about sex maniacs and insane people - not especially something you’d like to be seen
reading in public, or is it?

So yeah, just read them. There’s no point in me saying anything else :)
