Review: Reads like a journalist's draft - unfinished feeling
Rating: 2 out of 5

I had an idea what to expect reading other reviewers'comments - it's very short (I read it under an hour's time). It looks like research notes with just the flimsiest attempt at story-telling.So while it quotes several sources of information (and by quotes I mean a lot of them), they're not really well put together. There is no passionate explanation of various conflicting accounts by different survivors,  or masterful comings and goings between what happened in different places at the same time.Even a replay 5 minutes by minutes would have been more dramatic.The beginning is actually very funny because it goes for an ominous tone, including superstitious stuff about Friday 13th and this being the boat's maiden voyage, and it fails flat, because the writing is not just good enough to pull it off.So - great material for a book. But unfinished product.
