Customer Reviews

Many pages are stuck together and unable to separate without tearing them.

Book is interesting but unable to read many pages due to them being stuck together.

Lots of Info and Great Format

This book was the best!!!!! I have a book club and That was my first recommendation. IT is one of the best books that I have seen about the Titanic. It has a clear and easy-to-read format. Plus, it has facts tahr are undescribable. They are tons of interesting facts that you can read again and again. It is a truly wonderful collection and I reccomend all to read it. Such as did you know there were actually two Grand Staircases??? And Violet Jessop, former sewardess on the Titanic was also on Titanic's sister ships (Britannic and Olympic) when they sank? This is a book full of fun and facts. You will enjoy it for sure

Fascinating Heartfelt Intriguing Answers

This is by far the best book I have ever come across about the night of April 15, 1912 when the Titanic sank. This book is filled with 882 ½ facts (because the ship was 882 ½ ft. long) about the people, the ship, crew, heartwarming stories of how mothers pleaded for their sons to be allowed into life boats, how lovers said goodbye to each other, how people were refused into life boats, and how others never made it out of the ship. There are detailed names, dates, info about the aftermath, a "whatever happened to..." page with facts about survivors, as well as great info about the discovery of the ship, exploration of the wreckage, facts about the movie directed by James Cameron, and a great glossary at the back of the book to learn about different words associated with the ship. What I love most about this book is the heartfelt facts about the people who were on the ship, and what happened to them. If you have ever wanted to learn about The Titanic, this is THE book to buy. An Outstanding tribute to the souls loved and lost. Deserves 10 Stars.

Summary: This book has answers to almost all of your questions about the ship and the sinking, etc. Wonderful facts.

Bought this book through book club at daughters school. It is VERY informative. I thought I was up on a lot about Titanic, but this really taught me a lot more. Very good for any student or historian.
