A Night to Remember

A Night to Remember is the true story of the sinking of the Titanic. It was first published in 1955, and Walter Lord notes that all the dialogue and all of the details from the story were taken from various accounts of the sinking of the Titanic. The story has the feeling of being an eyewitness account, with a narrator that sees-all, hears-all. I first read this book after I was wowed watching the movie Titanic, and someone told me that this book was a brilliant nonfiction story of that event. I have to agree. A Night to Remember is one of my all-time favorite reads. I hope to read the sequel this year, too.
