dark informative sad

So good, so well-researched- no fat on this! I was particularly impressed by the chapter that unpacked the class politics of the time

Fascinating. Written without embellishment, telling a story as best as it can from the memories of those who survived.
I wish it had dealt with the fall-out as well, but I know there are other books for that.

Note: the Titanic wasn’t the first ship to send out an SOS.
informative tense fast-paced

Neat to hear how many real quotes James Cameron used. And lol at the part about smoking and it not yet having been discovered as a cure for anxiety. Can you believe that this was written 30 years after the sinking and still 30 years before the ship was discovered. Crazy…

Started this book in 7th grade. About to begin my second year of college. Make of that what you will.

’s fascinating to read this book in the year 2025 especially after the most recent National Geographic documentary came out regarding the immense amount of photographs that were taken of the Titanic. To just hear about how people describe the event.

Very informative....kinda boring

A Night to Remember by Walter Lord. This isn't just a book about the Titanic, it's a minute by minute account that puts you right there on the Titanic. Haunting, human, and seems to be well researched. A good read for anyone fascinated by the history or incredible true stories of the Titanic.
