Book Reviews of A Night to Remember
Book Review: A spellbinding read
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been fascinated with the Titanic for years, and now with the resurgance of interest due to the movie, I find myself reaching for this book once again. Of all the many books, articles and journals written on the Titanic, Walter Lord's book touches us in a way the 'newer' books don't. He tells the story from survivor accounts and his own experiences after having researched the great vessel with an honesty that is sometimes cold, yet truthful. He worked with what he had at the time--not technology, but merely an interest to tell the story from a human point of view. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the Titanic and her legacy. This is one book you will not want to put down and when you finally do, you may feel the emotions welling inside you as so many before when experiencing the wonder of this great tragedy.Book Review: A wonderful book
Summary: 5 Stars
I think that "A Night to Remember" is a wonderful book! It is a great re-telling of the Titanic story. What I liked about it most is that it talked about the people most. It focused on the human saga, not so much on the engeneering or the movie like other Titanic books do. Very well done!Book Review: A wonderful book

Summary: 5 Stars
I remember first reading this book in middle school (for a book report), long before James Cameron probably thought of making a film about Titanic. I just finished rereading it (as a Master's student) and find its emotional impact just as strong as I first did. While reading it, I could appreciate how Cameron deftly blended the actual events of that night. If you loved the film, or are just interested in the historical aspects, you will love this book.Book Review: Absolutly Breathtaking
Summary: 5 Stars
Mr. Lord has taken this ill fated voyage of the most luxurious and grandest liner to sail in its time, and gives you the feel you are on board. While reading this magnificent work of literature, I could not put it down. The minute-by-minute desccriptions of the passangers aboard and the last minutes of the Titanic are so detailed from the casses of shelled wallnuts aboard, to the actual people who's lives were changed forever that night. I have read many books about Titanic, but never have I come across anything like Mr. Lords, "A Night to Remember." This book is a book one to remember!!
