This book was very frightening, even for me. I can’t imagine your life turning on a dime like that. Hearing the true tales of all these people’s perspectives rally made me wonder. Although, I thought it could be a little more suspenseful for being such a great story and storyline. I really wish I felt the romance too. I would recommend this book to anyone studying the Titanic. This non-fiction was actually interesting compared to some books at least. To conclude, this book was decent for how short it was.… (meer)
