This was a good read. It's one of those books where I really would like the choice of giving half star ratings, because I'm torn between a 3 and a 4. So really, for me this is a 3.5. I liked the retelling of a Titanic tale that had a good story feel, but didn't focus on the time on the boat or the actual retelling of the sinking sequence. Instead, it focused more on the people and their lives immediately after being rescued.
