This book is very British, I can hear a lot of the quotes in the very British accent of on old gentleman. That being said, as an American, I didn't understand the humor of quite a few of the entries. I'm sure they're hilarious, I just don't have the cultural background to understand them. Still a fun book.

This book was really good and well written. My husband, who is not a big book reader, read this book and absolutely loved it. He loved it so much that I found him laughing lots, something which is very rare indeed when it comes to books. In my opinion if a book can get my husband to laugh and enjoy reading, even if for a short time, then it's worth the time in reading it. I would highly recommend this book to anybody who likes a laugh interspersed with fun facts.

Teos on täynnä silminnäkijöiden kertomuksia Titanicilta, sekä ennen että jälkeen onnettomuuden. Selviytyjien lisäksi mukana on muutama onnettomuudessa menehtynyt matkustaja, joiden tarinat laivalta on kerätty heidän lähettämistään kirjeistä matkan alkuvaiheilta, ja jokaista kertomusta pohjustaa kyseisen silminnäkijän taustat ennen ja jälkeen kyseisen matkan. Vielä kuudensadan sivunkin jälkeen silminnäkijöiden kertomukset suorastaan karmivat selkäpiitä.
