illusie's review against another edition
4.0
I enjoyed this book. It was well written and the author gave special attention to the characters. I'd have liked it if there had been more adventures on board of the Titanic. I felt like the ship sank a bit too soon in the book. The book was predictable and I knew how it would end, despite that I liked it.

Look, I LOVE the 1997 film. LOVE IT. That being said, this book was so much like it that it felt like a cop out. (Though the blatant references to the movie did make me laugh.) The character arcs were predictable and boring.

I enjoyed The Girl Who Came Home a lot, but I think I wish it would have been a different story altogether. I liked reading things through the eyes of the various people connected with the Titanic, but I could have done without Grace's story. It just seemed like a distraction and wasn't really what I wanted to read. I would have much preferred the story showing Maggie and the other survivor's lives after New York. I wanted to know how they picked up the pieces and made their new lives. There was a glimpse of it, but it was once they were already old.
