Please don't be mislead by some low raters on here complaining this is short. It clearly states being a short story by Bylines, meant to be read in one sitting. The description is accurate.As for the story itself, Ms. Kaye did an excellent job. Many of these short non-fiction accounts merely bombard the reader with dry facts. This does the opposite and is a satisfying read.Ms. Kaye adds the human touch and the human feel throughout. This succeeds in getting the story across and having the viewer almost feel they are actually there. She's also done an excellent job on her research in gathering facts of that night.The only nitpick is, yes, the ship did break into two parts upon sinking.Many are fascinated by the Titanic 100 years afterward. This shorty does not disappoint. Rather, it adds to the events and mystique of that night so long ago.
