This book was the answer to (almost) everything I ever wondered about the Titanic. This is a book of immense detail and overlapping accounts of survivors to paint a thorough picture of the events that occurred. It is a more scientific telling (or puzzle piecing) than a novel so many will not like the excessive detail. I enjoyed it, even though I did have to take breaks at times to read something lighter because this story was so sad. It isn't really a story to "enjoy" but it is fascinating to read some of the stories and I also enjoyed the details about the wreck and how they were able to use it together with science to answer questions about how and why things happened.
