it was amazing
bookshelves: history, non-fiction

This has got to be the most exciting non-fiction book I have ever read!

The book itself only takes place during the sinking of the Titanic (which took about 3 or so hours) and the rescue effort of the Carphatia to the Titanic's small amount of survivors.

While reading this I felt like I was on board getting in to a life boat or drowning in the water that 'felt like millions of knives' or even part of the crew, it was that exciting! and I got through it very fast.

I also felt that man kind will never again dare to claim that we can triumph over nature. The sinking of the "unsinkable" Titanic made sure of that. Things happen for a reason.

I also enjoyed the fact of how disasters like this can bring out the best and worst in people, some fought like maniacs to survive, while some refused to leave and went down with the ship in a "gentlemanly" fashion. It reminded me a lot of the 2004 Tsunami disaster.

Excellent, excellent book! I highly recommended it, especially if your interested in the Titanic but its also just a good read in general, its easy to read and like I said: Very exciting and hard to put down!
