Review

This is a really cool book about the Titanic. It's great for people that don't know a lot about it (like me) or people that know a bunch about it. Now if you are an expert, this might not give you tons of new info, but it has lots of great photos and diagrams that would still be interesting. The book is set up kind of like a guidebook - there are lots of photos and diagrams on every page and each one has a short description. There is not a lot of info on any one topic but enough to get a quick understanding, which I thought was perfect. It also includes links through out the book to get more info and it has a link to an online book that tells the stories of some of the survivors. What I liked about the book was the descriptions about the boat itself - I mean, it was an amazing ship but seeing drawings and photos of it make that even more real. I would give this almost 5 out of 5 stars. For grades 3 and up.

Overall Book Score: excellent
