kathryn08 's review for:
I found this book a little slow to start, and a list of characters including who was in which position on the Californian would have been very helpful - I kept getting mixed up in the beginning.
But I could sympathise with the officer on the Californian who saw the rockets fired from the Titanic when he realised the next day the magnitude of what had happened and what his ship’s role had been (and what it could have been) in the disaster.
I’m not sure I totally bought the explanation by David Dyer for why the Californian didn’t do anything, although it is a possibility. But I guess, with the benefit of hindsight, and knowing the scale of the the tragedy, any “explanation” for why a ship didn’t go to lend assistance is probably going to seem a bit paltry.
