A Night to Remember

Rating:
Summary: the best book about the tragedy of Titanic
Review: there's no problem to say the motion picture Titanic's the best movie made (not a surprise it won 11 Ocars) and Walter Lord's A Night To Remember is a shocking novel about the sinking of Titanic and the tragic moment. this book leaves the readers lots of emotion - the sinking feeling, the tears to shed, the smile, the prayers to the victims die on Titanic and lots of memories....

Summary: This book is absolutely wonderful...
Review: Wow! I just got done reading this book, and I have to say I was absolutely enthralled by it. It was devastatingly real, like I was almost there. I suggest this book to anyone who wants a book that reads more like a novel than a documentary.

Summary: first and among the best
Review: i first read this book in grade school and as a result became fascinated with the story of the Titanic. this has continued over more than 30 years. people above are right, it reads like a novel, but unfortunately it was real. you do feel like you are there. nobody interested in the Titanic should miss this one.

Summary: A Riveting Classic
Review: I first read Walter Lord's "A Night to Remember" in the summer of 1968 as part of my required reading list for freshman year of high school. I was so fascinated by the account that I read it at least three times that summer and early fall. It brought to chilling life one of the greatest maritime disasters in history. As I read the dog-eared, yellowing, crinkled-paper copy of the paperback (its purchase price was sixty-cents back then) once again last year as a "mature" 42 year old, Mr. Lord's brilliant account of the tragedy still held my attention. His vivid, detailed, yet smooth flowing narrative brought back the excitement as felt as a young teenager, in a way that few books have. I recently viewed the movie "Titanic" with my fourteen year old daughter. The movie was thoroughly enjoyable, but there were some aspects of the book (such as the spectre of a rescue ship only a few precious miles away)that could have added to the drama. The book is worth reading both as literature as well as history.

Summary: The start of a fascination!
Review: I first read Lord's book my sophomore year in high school ('89). It was the start of a fascination that quieted until I saw Cameron's film. The book is excellent and I was shocked at how much I recalled nearly a decade later. I have been searching for another copy and am glad to have found one. I remember thumbing through the passenger list at the end of the book, and the chill of realizm. This book is defineately worth the read. I recommend it to those fascinated with the Titanic tragedy, as I am, or anyone who is interested in a spellbinding tale of truth.

Summary: Incredible
Review: Lord's book is probably the most incredible non-fiction book I've ever read. I've read just about every book on Titanic there is, and Lord's surpasses all of them immeasurably. An incredibly detailed account of the sinking that focuses on the passengers and desribes facts you won't see anywhere else.

Summary: Easy To Read/Hard To Put Down
Review: Like many others, I couldn't get my hands on enough reading material that covers the Ttianic. A Night To Remember was the first, and probably the best. Easy to read, filled with details, and just plain hard to put down.
