I know it sounds nutty and is one of those how-in-the-world-can-this-not-be-stupid? titles, but it's one of my favorite books. We've just about worn out the DVD.My first reading was before the ship was actually found. You will be surprised how accurate this book is.There are subplots that make it a much better book than the movie, but that's typical with something this 'meaty.'Suggest both for any Titanic fan in your family.
