I found this national bestseller at B&N for like $5, and the cover design is beautiful, so I bought it. Yep, I'm a sucker like that. I thought this book would be really similar to the Titanic story (it's also about an ocean liner sinking, but in this case, due to a mysterious explosion), but I was surprised at how different the premise was. This book was one that I read in one sitting this evening and would definitely pass along-- it makes you think about the nature of humanity, the things we would do to save ourselves, and how selfish we ultimately are. It was a quick read, fast-paced and compelling and well-written, and definitely worth a read.
