Pluses included character development and variety, the historical facts presented and the realism of the sinking. Minuses included the hard to believe luck of Tess; walking out on her employer and immediately being employed by the Duffs as well as meeting the wealthy older gentleman on the boat. Most would recomend it to others as a good read.

This book had too many characters who were poorly developed. Jumping around from character to character made it very confusing and there were too many gaps in the characters\\\' lives. Not one of his best books!

It was well written, but a dark depressing story. The characters were well developed and true to themselves. The opening setting of an explosion in a museum is very timely. Sometimes there was too much detail which made for a long story.

Very well written providing insight into the way ordinary men became monsters and repeatedly perpetrated atrocities on the Polish men, women and children of the Jewish faith and those who helped them. The grave hardships endured by the Polish Jews which they never forgot. This may be a fiction book but it reads as non-fiction.

At first it was difficult to sort out who\'s who, but it became easier. The book was well written, an easy read and the characters were well developed.
