6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. A Slight Tale by a Good Author By Buzz "The Frozen Deep" is a slight tale by the very excellent 19th century English writer, Wilkie Collins, whose most famous book is "The Moonstone." Collins first wrote this story as a stage play, but when it failed, he rewrote it as a book. It is a quick read, which has the potential to relax, and will most certainly not tax the reader. It's a Victorian romance with a sea adventure thrown in, and one of the characters has some contact with the paranormal. A good book to read quickly while you're looking around for something more substantial.
8 of 9 people found the following review helpful. Victorian melodrama By Frank J. Konopka I am perhaps being unfair to this author by giving his work only 4 stars, but it is certainly not up to the standard of his classic works "The Woman In White" and "The Moonstone". In his defense, however, I will say that this novella is interesting, for a work that grew out of a play performed by the author and Charles Dickins. It's a typical Victorian melodrama, with coincidences abounding everywhere, and florid speeches and unusual (for our time) actions by the main characters. There really isn't any character development, perhaps because the tale is so short, but you do get into the spirit of the story fairly quickly. It's an entertaining diversion that will keep you occupied for an hour or so.
4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Another good Collins read By Jetpack The Frozen Deep is a novella based on a play that Wilkie Collins write, with changes by Charles Dickens.It is about a woman and the two men who want her and a trip to the North Pole (Arctic expeditions being big at the time).The Frozen Deep is much shorter than the Woman in White, or the Moonstone, so it can be read quickly. I especially liked the one scene on the ice, as one of the characters struggles to maintain his control. As is often the case, much of the problems could be avoided if the characters talked to each other, but that wouldn't be much of a story.The Frozen Deep is an enjoyable read, and worthy addition to your free Kindle library.If you liked Mr. Collins' other work, give the Frozen Deep a try.
