Title: Best Novel of 2002
Product review: In sharp contrast to all the other over-hyped novels of this year that turn out to be undreadable and instantly forgettable, The Year of Ice should be getting all the praises. This is truly one of the best works of fiction I have ever read. The author gets everything right; each and every page is wise, funny and heartbreaking. I read this book in less than 24 hours, have just finished it, and feel like I have been immeasurably enriched by the experience. The characters are as real as you and I, and the author displays a talent for telling a story that few writers possess. I wish happiness for all of the characters in the book, and much success for Mr. Malloy. I know this is a cliche, but do yourself a favor and read this tender and touching novel as soon as you can.
