I struggled with how to rate this. The last 1/4 of the book really brought it together and pushed the score a bit higher. It wasn't a bad book but the beginning was a slow and almost boring and then suddenly it picked up pace and seemed to twist over into itself. It was heartbreaking to read at some points and had some very graphic details (fine with me) but then the characters changed and shifted and it felt .. off.

Very entertaining and interesting non-fiction book about ice, the frozen water not the fake police. Neil takes us from the Antarctic to the Arctic and back again evoking such strong imagery that I felt like I was standing at the edge of the ice cliff with him. There is so much to learn about Ice and the world around us I feel like I have only learned the tip of the iceberg hahahah I am funny. With it being only 288 pages and just under 8 hours it is a very quick read.

Although I gave this a 3 star that is reflective of the extensive notes at the end. If it didn't have that it would be 2.5.

The art-style really creeped me out. Some interesting background information on Dahmer from a friend/acquaintance's perspective. I didn't know about his mom at all and I feel for the woman.

Terry Sullivan did such a good job with this book. It was interesting, informative, entertaining, AND well written. I went into this not knowing much about Gacy and now I feel like I could be an expert.

This grabbed my attention quickly and did not let it go. The names are silly and made me laugh but the story was interesting. The characters were different and kind of unique. The vampires have a little special ability that I won't spoil but I can't wait to find out more! I want more backstory and world-building which I think comes in the spinoff series.
