A Night to Remember

Summary: This was a perfect example of true sibling relationships.
Review: This book had a really suspenful plot. It also showed you exactly how two normal sisters fight over things, and that's something I can relate to. This book is about Jessica and Elizabeth setting up a Jungle Prom, and they fight over who will be crowned the Queen. Then, Jessica gets so obsessed that she does something that changes her life. Forever.

Summary: It had great information but lacked some other information
Review: It had a great minute by minute simulation of the sinking from the sighting of the iceberg to the rescue by the Carpathia. It has a lot of information and I recommend it to anyone.

Summary: An excellent summary of the events of that night...
Review: If you are looking for a well-researched summary of the events of April 14-15 1912, you can't go wrong with Walter Lord's authoritative book, A Night to Remember. Mr. Lord presents the events chronologically, but rather than reading like a stale history book, this reads more like an adventure story.

A Night to Remember was written in the 1950s so obviously there is no "post-discovery" information about the wreck itself. The fact that the author was able to interview many survivors of the Titanic sinking more than makes up for this, in my opinion.

Summary: Boring
Review: In my opinion A Night to Remember is a boring book! It has it's moments where it's good but most of it is pretty bad! Most of the book is peoples quotes. You don't get a feel of what really happened. There also wasn't enough emotion. They made it seem like it wasn't a big deal. When they did express the action in in this book it wasn't exciting. On a scale from 1-10 I would give this book a 4. The reason why I wouldn't rate it any less is because I have read much worse books and compared to the other books I have read this is about in the middle of the rating system.

Summary: Possibly the best book I've ever read!
Review: I went to great efforts to have this book ordered in for me about 2 years ago (after hearing that it was supposed to be the best book every written about the Titanic)! The wait was worth it & I could not put the book down.

I also loaned the book to my niece (who is 9) and she was just fascinated. My sister, who has absolutely no interest whatsoever in the Titanic, had to help my niece with some of the wording and what do you know? She was hooked and like me couldn't put the book down until she was finished.

Well worth the read!

Summary: The first and last word on the worse Maritime Disaster!
Review: Mr Lord has given us the first and last words on the worst maritime disaster of our time in this book. If you want a beautiful love story, go see James Cameron's Movie, Titanic. But if you want the facts, this book is all you need!

Summary: Four Stars-****TITANIC was definitely a"Night to Remember".
Review: Being a huge "TITANIC" fan I was in desperate need of serious reading material on my favorite subject.Going to my favorite bookstore Atlantic Books I purchased my first book on "TITANIC".Anxious to read it,and driving my mother nuts we finally arrived at my house.The anxiety I felt finally opening "A Night to Remember" quickly subsided me as I eased into the almost real surroundings produced by Walter Lord.I was in my glory as I began to feel the excitement of the passengers when they began to leave the port.And of course the chill of absolute terror when they heard that half of them would die and that the surviving half would live to tell their story of that fateful night.They did not know that they would soon be mourned by millions of people who they of course did not know.And yet some 86 years later,on April 14th the world seems to pause at 11:40pm to give their moment of silence to a ship that was said to be "unsinkable".There are also some new characters from the legendary ship that director James Cameron made noticeable such as John Jacob Astor and "the unsinkable Molly Brown. Of course some new characters are fictisous yet they make the story even more romantic.So no matter what the critics or anyone else says if you like "TITANIC" or you just want to read a good book I highly recommended this one. __

Summary: great book, you can't put it down
Review: as in the style of jim bishop's books on the assasinations of kennedy and lincoln, walter lord puts you on the decks of the titanic on her final day. this is one book that you feel that you too, are on the titanic, experiencing the iceberg collision and sinking of the ship, interreacting with the crew and passengers, by experiencing what they went through as the ship sinks and waiting for rescue. the reader will also be the proverbial fly on the wall, as they experience what went on during the sinking on two other key ships, the carpathia and californian. all in all, the reader will get the best picture of the events of april 14-15, 1912 through 'a night to remember'.

Summary: Mesmerizing...Couldn't put this book down!
Review: After watching the movie, Titanic, I became very interested in finding out more. As soon as I started reading this book, I couldn't put it down. I felt as if I were right there on the ship as if I knew these people. Read this book and you will not be disappointed.
