For Titanic Buffs

"Titanic Affair" is a novel aimed at Titanic buffs. "Titanic Affair" is just one novel in a long line of novels that take a historical event and fashion a fictional tale around the event. Take "Raise the Titanic" for instance. "Titanic Affair" is not bad as novels go and there is enough historical drama present to make most Titanic buffs take note.

Surprisingly good spin on an old story.

I am a bit of a Titanic buff and will read almost anything concerning the ship and disaster. I admit I was skeptical of this book but found it surprisingly enjoyable. It took a fresh spin on an old story and even threw in a bit of a mystery. The writing at times is amateurish, and a bit repetitive (everything seemed to look "smart"). Some of the plot devices require a major suspension of belief (i.e., the side story of Carl's mother's "miraculous" cure). But the plot itself overcomes most of the faults. It is generally a fun, engaging read and not to be taken as serious literature, but still enjoyable.

A keeper

I took this book out of the library and then I bought a copy. I loved it. It was a much better story than the one in the film, though I love the film, too, but I didn't like the ending. In this book, I was really on the ship with the characters and I loved 'seeing' round the ship as the heroine went exploring. I loved 'seeing' all the famous passengers, too. When the ship started to sink Titanic Affair was literally unputdownable. A keeper.
