Good, very good, for what it is and what it does.--providing a brief, very brief,  human overview of the Titanic tragedy as told and remembered by the survivors in Lifeboat No. 8.In a work of this type, there is not room, inclination or intent to delve into a detailed human accounting of the tragedy. This book is designed to give a feeling or overview of the tragedy in human terms. And it does so effectively.It whets the appetite--and the mind--for more about this disaster that still captivates the mind and imagination after more than 100 years.Those who "want more" should consider Walter Lord's "A Night To Remember," still the classic on the Titantic. (It's better than the movie!!!)For those who want a taste, a wisp of the ice as it goes by, this is good.
