This novel is fantastic.

You are reading half Colonel Gracie's memoir but half research and interviews he conducted. The stories and encounters he describes and how everything unfolded that horrific night are sobering. Also, the book makes it seem more real than just learning a historical moment or a love story on the silver screen.

Keep in mind this was originally published in 1913 so there are some historical inaccuracies but at the time they did not have all the information we do now. I highly recommend for any Titanic fan.
