Rating: Summary: I loved this book!!! Review: Two of my favorite recent books are "Into Thin Air" and "The Perfect Storm." "Titanic Adventure" is a thrilling addition and adds up to a great trilogy. I'm a strong admirer of William F. Buckley, Jr. and when I saw his enthusiastic endorsement of "Titanic Adventure," I had to pick it up and see why he was so excited. Before the first chapter was halfway over, I knew. This is not just another Titanic story -- not at all. It's an amazing, suspense-packed, unforgettable drama of a courageous woman who fought all obstacles to become the first woman to dive to the Titanic. What I liked most about the main character was her humanity. She's no cardboard superwoman, but a person with fears and doubts who pushed ahead and overcame them to fulfill her dreams. She faced a shipwreck, two hurricanes, a killer fog and a Captain Queeg-like enemy on board ship and she refused to knuckle under and let herself be destroyed. I only hope this becomes a movie, so the whole world can read about -- and be inspired by -- a story both unusual and powerfully moving.
Rating: Summary: Jennifer is an amazing woman!!! Review: When I was told this book is a real "page turner" I kinda scoffed. I'm tired of the Titanic-mania and another book on the subject didn't interest me, but I have had the honor to know both Jennifer and Joel, well before I had any idea they were so adventuresome and talented, so I thought I'd give it a try. What a story!! It goes well beyond your everyday "Titanic", and brings you insights to what it would be like to go down to 12,000' in a titanium tube. I really couldn't put it down.
