2.0 out of 5 stars A Short Excursion Into The Cold, 9 Jan 2003
By "scribeoflight" - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
After reading Adam Roberts' superb debut novel 'Salt', I was looking forward to this short novella featuring murder and deceit in a polar research station. Even with my high expectations 'Park Polar' didn't disappoint. Equally, it didn't blow my mind. It is a competent story, and it's worth investigating. Although it wasn't as impressive as 'Salt', I enjoyed it, and I particularly liked the way the development of characters - their psychology and motivations - drove the plot, and pace of the narrative. By the end of this tightly written, atmospheric novella, the reader is left with a portrait of a thoroughly messed-up protagonist.

The book does, however, suffer because of the intense focus on the central character. Some characters feel under-developed, and some events didn't feel fully justified.

But all said and done, 'Park Polar' swept me along, and I liked the evocation of a futuristic, slightly eerie polar landscape.
