I did like this book but not sure I would race to read another by the same author. I'm not usually a lover of sagas but I do like things to do with titanic. The characters were easy to get to know and the story flowed very easily as most sagas do. Would recommend to family and friends and have already passed this book on to them to read. The chapters were an ideal length too, not too short or long. Story line was easy to follow which helps. Not sure about the cover picture as it wasn't very inspiring but does match to the story and gives you a feel for the era etc. This book could make a good present or gift for someone so that's an idea too. Overall a nice book but wouldn't rush to re-read.
