Continuing my Titanic books, I picked up this one. Very interesting and a quick read. More personal accounts than Ship of Dreams, but far less in depth.
I learned so much reading this book. If you have any interest in the Titanic, or you think you know everything about it already - pick this up. You’ll learn even more.
I read this puppy in less time than the sinking and rescue of the Titanic.
It was a tremendous narrative achievement: telling a story about one of the most famous disasters of the 20th Century.
I am convinced that Walter Lord's book is so good it elevated the tale to Mythology. The Night to Remember lead to "Titanic" and affixed the story in our culture for all time.
A very fast, and very good read.

I first read this book over 40 years ago. So glad to have a copy of my own now so I can read it another 10+ times.

I so admire Walter Lord's tenacity to interview 60+ survivors of the Titanic and share their experiences with the world. What an important project. The sinking has fascinated people for 102 years, myself included, and this book goes beyond the popular movie, of which I am a huge fan. After reading I was pleasantly surprised to find that James Cameron incorporated several witness accounts into his story. I only give this three stars because it isn't meaty or anything like that. The writing isn't overwhelmingly amazing, but it is a great historical account of an incredible world event.
