Love his music and this CD was great for the holiday season. It was great for the kids to listen to as well.

This book, in a word, sucked. She paints Captain Smith as being a man who couldn't think about anything but sex, Bruce Ismay as being homosexual (maybe he was but I don't want to know about it!!!) and why on earth did she name those two girls SWAN and SMOKE!!??I just couldn't get past that...

Ms. O'Cork does a real disservice to the actual people on board the Titanic and to any reader who has genuine interest in the historical facts. She could just as easily have written a completely fictional book with all characters and the ship itself being only similar to the actual event and not extrapolated from the real thing.

I enjoyed the romance of the book, but the author wrote as if all the characters, especially Captain Smith, ever thought about was sex. I think her description of Smith is disgraceful.. not to mention the other real characters she disgraced. If you are a true Titanic buff and care anything for the actual events of the tragedy, I do not recommend this book.

I believe, that when a person writes a work of fiction that involves historical characters, they should at least try to make the actions of those characters at least somewhat consistent with their known actions. This is not the case with this novel. If you care about the story of the Titanic, you will probably find this treatment of the tragedy disturbing for it inaccuracy and innuendo. If you don't care about the disaster, the romance might be interesting, but please don't believe anything about any of the characters.

My husband had a personal interest in this case and has lookedfor this book for years. He was thrilled to find it on Amazon.
