Book Reviews of RMS Majestic: The 'Magic-Stick'
Book Review: One star for White Star
Summary: 1 Stars
I was given this book as a Christmas gift. I would have never bought it myself. It seems to be an excuse to cram in as many small images of the ship as possible. There seems to have been no thought to use a few stunning images for maximum effect instead. The layout of the illustrations is dull and unimaginative and whilst I am sure that the text is well detailed, where I have dipped into it, it is an uninspiring read. It does not make me want to begin at page 1 and absorb the RMS Majestic story all the way through to the end - indeed, it seems as heavy and ponderous as the ship herself. This book, I fear, will soon be making its way to the charity shop.
