a fine book, Mar 29 2004
This review is from: Ice (Mass Market Paperback)
i don't see that this book is a bad one , in fact i find it much nicer than cinnamon which was a little bit silly about the spirits thing...ice is a very touching story, the only drawback i think was that it's short.

I'd give it ZERO stars if I could, July 24 2003
This review is from: Ice (Mass Market Paperback)
After buying Cinnamon, I swore I would never buy another stupid minibook ever again. Well, one night I was in the grocery store and, for reasons unknown to even myself, I wound up tossing this little thing in my shopping cart. Thankfully, this was the book that cured me of ever buying another V.C. book again without reading some excerpts first. There aren't words to describe how horrendous this book was. I couldn't even finish it. I wound up skimming to the end to see what traumatizing event would afflict Ice. It's a shame, because Ice's story had promise. I bet the real V.C. Andrews would've made a wonderful full-length novel (for adults, no less) out of it. Sadly, that can never happen. Unless you are under the age of 13, I'd advise you to skip this tired mess.

The review of Ice, May 30 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Ice (Mass Market Paperback)
This story is about a young girl named Ice. She has parental problems. Her mom has a drinking problem and always makes Ice feel bad about herself. Her father always wants another child. Then Ice's mom claims that he is just trying to make her unattractive, but I don't think he is. So Ice has problems and tries to get though them is her own ways. I loved this book. The reason is because I also have problems, but not as harsh as hers. Ice was a very interesting charter in this story. She always listened to others though her thin walls of her apartment. She can do this because her parents don't come home until later at night. This was one of her ways that she learns about life. To me this was a very interesting way to learn. These are all of the ideas that made me like this book so much. The reason why I chose this book is because of the cover that looked so cool. I also loved the title and how someone would name their child "Ice". The story was exactly what I was looking forward to be reading about. The last reason why chose this book is because I like the way that V.C Andrews writes.
