4.0

This book gives a minute-by-minute account of the sinking of the Titanic, and shares experiences from various people involved - passengers and crew on the ship as well as crew members from ships that were nearby that night. The book focuses on the ship's demise, and gives little detail on the voyage before hitting the iceberg.

I've read anything I can get my hands on about the Titanic, and I'm pleased to say I learned some new things and read about some people's experiences that I hadn't previously read. While this book is geared toward middle grade readers, anyone who's interested in the Titanic will enjoy this book.
