It's another review of mine that got flushed/deleted somehow. Goodreads has done nothing. I am not surprised. So I find them, one by one, whenever I come across a book on someone's list that I know I reviewed but Goodreads says I didn't. It makes me sad that my hard work is viewed with so little care. Good for me that I have them saved because Goodreads doesn't care about me or my reviews.

I have always been a Titanic fanatic. I love to look at the old photos and watch all the different movies and documentaries out there. So when I saw this book being offered on NetGalley, I couldn't resist picking it up!
This title did not disappoint! I loved the straightforward method that Tim Maltin used of basically asking a question and answering it. From question 1 to question 101, I was hooked!

The sinking of the Titanic was one of the worst tragedies in modern history, evidenced by the fact that, as a whole, we're still salivating over it 100 years later. We're still eager for information about it, we want to know the people, we still want to learn things we didn't know, and for some god awful reason, we want 1996's Titanic starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet released in 3D. Apparently there isn't a god.
But that's besides the point. As a crazy Titanic enthusiast myse More...

I consider myself reasonably well-versed in Titanic lore, having done a huge research project on the ship and its sinking when I was in middle school. But that was rather long ago, and there has been more research on the tragedy since, so I was glad to get a chance to read this book. Some of the 101 things I really did know from my research, but others, backed by first-hand accounts from survivors, were totally new to me, and it was fascinating to read more about this horrible event. With 100th

I was looking forward to reading about all the things I knew about the Titanic but didn't. In truth, I read about things in fact already did know abotu the Titanic. It was still a decent book of facts and would probably be good for anyone who didn't know much about the Titanic to dispell rumors and highlight interesting facts, but for Titanic history experts its nothing new or shocking.
