This is certainly an informative book, however it ranks as a least favorite Titanic book of mine. The reason I don't want to give it more than 3 stars is because of the amount of private information it gives on the passengers of the ship. I love history, especially about the Titanic, but this book went overboard (pun intended!) or prying into those defenseless people's lives.
