Have I read this before: I read like half of it in Vancouver, but then I accidentally left the book on the bus (I am a horrible library patron, I know) and never recovered it.

Review: Want to read the book that a large portion of “Titanic” (the movie, obvs) is based on? Lord interviewed 63 survivors of the sinking and has a lot of direct quotes and experiences. Much of the non-love-story dialogue in the movie is from this book. And it’s really well-written, too, so it’s not just this slog of “and this dude was doing this when the iceberg was hit” and “then this person thought “[insert thought here]” when they saw that most of the lifeboats were gone.  

Favorite Part: I just liked linking all the stories with the dialogue that’s in the movie. Because, y’know, I can quote the whole damn movie.

Rating: 7/10
