As a teacher, I often find myself reading young adult fiction, hoping to find books worth recommending to my students. More often than not, I come up empty, but Frost was a happy exception to that rule. From the get-go, Frost had me hooked: the dystopian future is recognizeable and conceiveable (which makes it all the more frightening), the relationships between characters are complex, and the question of what defines humanity is presented in so many different contexts that it's hard NOT to have a deep conversation about it! The story's many twists and turns kept me enthralled, and the book's final cliffhanger left me begging for more. Frost is a must-read!Tags : Amazon.com: Frost (9780545831918): M.P.

Frost MP Kozlowsky Books Reviews
16-year-old Frost lives in a horrible world. All of her life she has lived in a few rooms in a run down building. Outside is a dangerous world of rooming Eaters, killer robots, and gangs of cruel humans looking to enslave anyone they find. Frost has been living with pet, Romes, and a robot, Bunt, who sometimes has the mind of her father.
Romes gets sick and Frost believes that the one way t save him is to leave the safety of the only home she has ever know and take Romes to a rumored place of safety near the city. She faces impossible odds and only her faith in a better world keeps her going against all the dangers that she is about to face.
I very much enjoyed this book as a great story about faith and love in a world that has lost both. I think a wide audience of teens and adults will also like this book and not just those that enjoy dystopian science fiction. I give it five out of five stars and I recommend that you read it.
Oh, shiny!
The cover of Frost by M.P. Kozlowsky immediately drew me in as it sat on the bookshelf at my local Barnes and Noble. Upon picking it up I was drawn in by a young girl’s love her pet that somehow in my head looked like an R.O.U.S. from The Princess Bride.
There is nothing spectacularly revolutionary about Frost. It is a solid entry in the young adult dystopian fiction world. Each major character from Frost to Romes, her beloved pet, to Bunt, the family’s robot, had a specific role to play in the story. Evoking emotion through what seems to be an impossible goal while slowly doling out secrets about this post-apocalyptic world ruled by robots and plagued by some weird zombification virus, Kozlowsky kept me reading until the big secret was revealed.
As the story progressed, I wanted to know more about what created the world that Frost lived in–what caused the downfall of humans and the rise of the robots? How long much time has passed since “the Big Event?” Did Frost’s father really play a role in the event that caused the robots to rise? Did this story take place in New York City? These were all questions I asked as I read, but not many answers were given. I didn’t feel the lack of answers detracted from the story, as this is truly a character driven plot, but I wouldn’t have minded a FEW more answers before the final page.
Fans of Marissa Meyers’s The Lunar Chronicles as well as fans of dystopian young adult fiction may want to give Frost a shot. There are characters to root for and those you hope meet their doom, In the end, you will hope that Frost is able to achieve her goal of saving Romes and reaching the Battery. Her heart and determination will win you over.
I picked up this book because a friends daughter was reading it. The cover caught my attention, and she seemed to not be able to put it down. I was intrigued by the cover art, and when I read the back I was hooked! I could not put this book down once I started reading it; I read the electronic copy over three days. I couldn't wait for my friends daughter to finish it, so we could discuss her interpretation of the ending. And I recommended my friend read it knowing other books and series she has loved.
It was hard to put this book down for a number of reasons. First the world that Kozlowsky has created is very well crafter. Second the characters, especially Frost and Flynn. In some ways the world reminds me of James Axler's Deathlands, I read a number of the novels in that series when I was much younger, and this world has the same sort of feel. Now most of the intended audience for this book would not be familiar with that series, but I believe readers who are will really appreciate this book!
This book is part apocalyptic dystopian, part warning, and at times more than a little creepy. The overall feel of the story is very dark or noir. Frost is a 16 year old girl who has lived her whole life in a few rooms, towards the top of a rundown building. She has been watched over and protected by Bunt, Bunk is a robot of sorts that has her father's consciousness. But neither has full control of the body, or when they change. When Bunt is in control he is efficient, determined, dedicated, and if need be lethal. When her father is present, the machine barely functions, but he can connect with Frost in a way Bunt cannot. And then there is Romes, a wild dog like creature that Frost has raise since it was young. Normal his kind are feral killing machines but he has been her only living companion for years. Now he is sick and Frost is determined to get him help, her plan is to journey across the city to the rumoured utopia, The Battery. Strange lights that come and go towards the tip of the city. But what does a 16 year old girl who has never been out of the house know about survival? About hope? She has never even met anyone other than her mother and father.
But that is all Frost has, faith, and hope and love for her animal. And many who come across her see something in her that the world has not seen since the lights went out. Her name may be frost, but she exudes hope. And her determination is something to behold.
This book was an addictive read. And the ending can be interpreted a number of ways. Now finding out there is a second book coming, it does narrow it down a bit but not completely. This is an excellent read and I believe it will garner a wide audience. So pick it up and give it a chance, you might just find Frost warming your heart!
Amazing and emotional
I loved the book. It had a turn of events that I did not see coming and that doesn't always happen for me. I usually know what is going to happen before it happens. The ones who did not care for the book seem to be trying to read between the lines... It is just a great read, to get lost in and I hope the author writes a sequel.
