Negative Positive
Title: Mawkish
Review: The best that can be said about this book is that it offers wonderful thumbnail sketches of the great early expeditions to the Pole....Shackleton, Scott, Amundsen. As for the rest, well, that is best left unsaid. Suffice it to say that Kim Stanley Robinson could use an editor with a honed scalpel.
