I fail to understand why this book got so many negative views. I cannot believe anyone would throw this book away after reading it. It was not the book about the Titanic I was expecting (with everything happening on or related to the Titanic),however, it was a very interesting book and included many actual facts that I did not know. I actually learned a few thing from reading it and I am not young anymore! I have been reading books about the Titanic and almost decided not to read this one because of previous negative reviews both here and at Amazon. I am glad I took the chance and started it. I started last night and finished this morning.

I went to visit one of the Titanic Exhibitions during the summer. I remember seeing things there about some of the passengers on board that were mentioned in this book. The author provided a bit more detail about one of them and I found that very interesting. I am certainly glad I read it. It was not the best book I ever read but it certainly is not garbage to be recycled!

BTW, the Titanic is mentioned near the beginning of the book and throughout the text but the action on board does not take place until the middle of the book.

The ending is very far out, very unrealistic but that does not negate the entire book.
