Title: Not for the literal minded
Review: For those of us who have read most of the 1st person accounts of Antarctic Exploration, this story leaves a lot to be desired. The characters seemed incredibly pigeon-holed and uninteresting. The story tended to wander, and I found myself skipping whole chapters and finding I hadn't missed anything. Antarctica is too full of reality that's worth reading (and writing) about for this kind of fiction. Give me Sara Wheeler's Terra Incognita any day.
