The Mammoth Book of Alternate Histories

The Mammoth Book of Alternate Histories is a very mixed bag, as I suppose is to be expected from an anthology of short stories by different authors. It's extremely long, and not very quick to read, which is why I took so long to get through it. Most of the stories aren't that interesting, but a few are excellent and they make it worth getting the book just to read them.

 

"The Raft of the Titanic" I found spectacularly boring; it doesn't go anywhere and takes many pages to get there.
