This is the first in my Random Reading Project.
On the first floor of my building there are stacks of paperbacks available for borrowing. These are not books that I would normally read. The idea is to get me out of my "reading box" and discover some new authors...or if nothing else, be affirmed in the books I don't like.
Surprisingly enough, this book wasn't as awful as I thought it would be.
It's in the horror genre, which is not my cuppa.
And the plot is absurd: loving daddy wants to save his sick daughter's life by putting her through an experimental procedure in cryogenics. Apparently one cannot survive being frozen unless the brain is kept alive, even if the body is dead. So it's a race against time as daddy drives his daughter, packed in ice, across the country, trying to keep her body in one piece until she can get to the laboratory where she can be safely frozen. And there's a side effect, which involves lots of goriness and sloughing of skin and...yech.
The pacing was very good, and the author knows how to keep his readers going, even if there are plot holes a mile wide. The action sequences were quite well put together.
Would make a decent horror movie, IMO.
