I was really eager to read this because I’ve never read a book about titanic and I only really know Jack and Rose’s story. This showed the tragic accident from another point of view and I really enjoyed reading about it. However, it took a long time to get to the best bits and in my opinion, it didn’t need as much detail in the first half. It seemed to drag like mad and then suddenly it was all over.
The way the mother cared for her son’s was inspiring and I found it easy to put myself in her shoes when she was without them as the writing was very immersive. The book was obviously very well researched too.
I must admit, I found the ending slightly disappointing. I’m not sure what I was expecting, but it didn’t live up to what I hoped for. The overall journey was enjoyable though and I’m glad I read it.
