A Night to Remember

I am unable to come to grips with how I feel about this one. On one hand, I find it utterly fascinating and, on the other hand, I find it very tragic.

The Titanic was something built to show off, to bolster, and to take passengers on an unforgettable journey. It was inadequate to begin with and was touted as being unsinkable. We found out that it had a class problem and, unfortunately, did not have enough space on the lifeboats for each and every passenger. 

The book itself is pretty hard to put down. I found myself getting absorbed in its scale, how the steam boat functioned, and some interesting tidbits of the aftermath. It is fairly procedural, but I did not mind one bit. I would say if you were interested in the Titanic, this book does a great job of putting you in the shoes on board with the passengers.
