Titanic's last secrets


The book Titanic's last secrets, by Brad Matsen. is about the sinking of the Titanic. The book starts earlier in the evening and continues hour by hour throughtout that awful historic night.


At eight o'clock on April 14th everyone was found at dinner. The weather was clear and calm, and everyone thought it was a perfect night. I doubt that anyone was thinking about hitting a ice burg on this night.For the next few hours, the passengers were having fun with the entertainment the were given, some people wen't to bed. every crew member was going about their normal routine. At eleven o'clock the ship struck the burg. Many passengers slept through impact. Nobody was aware that the ship was sinking until about one o'clock. Everyone was on the deck flipping out on crew members and full of panic. The bow of the boat began to slip under the sea at two o'clock.the story begins to carry on throughout the night. As the people on the lifeboats drift away, their ears are filled with screaming and horrar.


This book sends a shock to my heart. I cried thoughout the end. I would recomend this book to people who are interested in history. I loved the fact that the author made it feel like i was on the boat. I also liked that the book was completly different then any ohter Titanic story. I did not like how in the begining of the book dragged on, also the end just left me hanging, wanting me to grab the next book. On a scale from 1-10, I would rate it about a 8.
