About this title

Review

"Getz explains the incredible story of the Iceman clearly and concisely, simply enough for a child to understand but in enough depth to satisfy a curious lay adult."--"Kirkus Reviews"
"As smoothly written as Getz's fiction ("Thin Air" and "Almost Famous"), the book deals with questions designed to keep readers interested till the very last page."--"Booklist"
