Titanic (Hardback)

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

I am lost for words, I have none at all. I have always been obsessed with the "Titanic" ever since I was little, and I can assure you that I have read lots of books, articles and also watched every movie and documentary on the titanic. Yes I am one of the ones that bawled my eyes out and to this day I still cry over the titanic and lovely memories that I read or watch.

I am very appreciative and was so excited when I was accepted my wish to read this, I learnt a lot that I didn't know about the searches and the history that I didn't know about the titanic. I think what even made everything more amazing was the images and reading them on my colour Kobo. The images made me feel like I was there when it happened, I was able to imagine what was happening in my own mind while reading about it.

Growing up (and still is) the titanic was and is always going to be legendary, this book taught me that there was still so much that is untold of the sunken ship. This story is amazing, and if your anything like me and obsessed with the titanic I recommend this book.

I have no words what so ever, this was written amazing and I love it. I'll have to come back and add to this because I read it within 5 hours, the other half said that I disowned him during the time because I didn't want to do anything but read this book. I am not normally one for non fiction being honest, but this is something I was willing to change for the titanic.

‘The story of the search for the wreck of the Titanic and the subsequent dives over the next forty years reads like a drama in itself: steeped in controversy involving allegations of grave robbing, carelessness, tragedy… and a monkey!’

I really enjoyed this, it was interesting to read about the search of the Titanic and the dives and technology involved.

It was intriguing to read about people’s opinion on diving to the ship and “grave robbing” which I don’t think it is personally. It is history and we want to preserve it. However, I do draw the line at getting married near the site!!!

‘As the cameras passed over more seabed and pieces of wreckage, the broken and rusting hull of the wreck of the Titanic finally came into view…’

Richard M Jones was able to weave a strong tale and had that research element that I was looking for and enjoyed getting into this piece of history. I learned a lot about the Titanic and how the searches and dives worked in finding the ship.
