Summary: One of Maclean's very best
Comment: I have friends who found this book boring, and I think I see what they mean. "Ice Station Zebra" does not have the non-stop action pace of modern thrillers. What it does have, to an exceptional degree, is vivid characterization, enjoyable writing, and a sustained build-up of tension that enables the reader to miss the occasional hole in the plot. Something I truly love about this book is that there is no fat on its frame: no gratuitous violence, zero sex, no hype. In some ways it strikes me as a model for the successful thriller in its purest form, with everything potentially inessential stripped away, and I re-read it every year or two just for the sheer fun of it.
Rating: 5
Summary: Cold, dramatic, and flawless
Comment: This is one of Alistair Maclean's best novels. From the time the American nuclear submarine Dolphin moves under the Arctic ice, you know it's not going to be an easy trip. From the sabotage of the torpedo tube, to the cold war double-crossing action at Ice Station Zebra, this novel is fast-paced, while still making you cold reading it. If you haven't read Maclean before, start with this one. I read it the first time when I was twelve years old and I re-read it every other year.
Rating: 5
Summary: Amazing atmosphere
Comment: The best thing about the writing in this book is the way the author has put in just the perfect amount of detail.As I read this book I felt as if I was there following Carpenter(The main character).I could feel the cold and the atmosphere of the adventure as I read the book and I've read it 7 times by now in the past 5 years.
