This was a good, but not great, follow up to the book "The Long Night". It answered some questions leftover from the night the Titanic sank and showed how some people were coping with the aftermath. I feel as though more of an impact could have been made if it was more historically based, but it was still a good read and powerful as well. It reminds the reader how far in safety we have come and who has paid the price.
In a lot of ways this sequel is more heartbreaking than the original. In the year that follows the sinking we see how the survivors are coping and carrying on with life, what they're doing now, how they've each been changed, and how the relationships have been affected by that one horrible night. I think I found myself losing just as much hope in the middle as the characters, which made the end a real tearjerker for me.
Not as good as the first, but still a great read.

The sequel to Titanic: The Long Night, I highly suggest it. Just as good as the first book, I devoured it in a couple afternoons when I was 13. I definitely recommend reading in order unlike I did. Definitely better than the movie!
I read this book while I was in grade/junior high. I liked it and wanted to see what I remembered of it, or if it was as good as I thought as a young teenager.
