Story4.5 out of 5 stars 16
Ice is everywhere: in gas stations, in restaurants, in hospitals, in our homes. Americans think nothing of dropping a few ice cubes into tall glasses of tea to ward off the heat of a hot summer day. Most refrigerators owned by Americans feature automatic ice machines. Ice on-demand has so revolutionized modern life that it’s easy to forget that it wasn’t always this way—and to overlook what aspects of society might just melt away as the planet warms. In Ice, journalist and historian Amy Brady shares the strange and storied two-hundred-year-old history of ice in America

Narration is unbelievable awful.

The HORRIBLE narration. This book is a fascinating wealth of interesting information but I could barely get through the narrator’s mispronunciations, excitable tone, and odd prosody. Do narrators audition for these gigs?! Do editors review what has been narrated?! And what must the author think of her magnificent research and writing being mangled in this fashion?!
