3.0 out of 5 stars Classic Book - Though Now Dated, 15 Nov 2005
By letsgetitright "letsgetitright" (England Europe) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: A Night to Remember (Paperback)
This is a classic book on the sinking of the Titanic and the first book I ever read on the subject. It should be understood before reading this book that our collective understanding of the Titanic disaster has moved on since the time "A Night to Remember" was first published in 1956. For example, upon discovering the wreck of the Titanic at the bottom of the Atlantic in 1985 it was clear that the Titanic had indeed broken in half and rested upon the sea bed in two halves. As anybody who has seen the 1958 film "A Night To Remember"; will realise this book presents the ship as sinking whole, which was not the case. But this is not to say that this book does not have a lot of outstanding information to impart to the interested reader. The book considers the Titanic from the time in 1907 when she was conceived, the building of the Titanic, the maiden voyage and the sinking and finally the subsequent investigations and recriminations. Particularly thought provoking is the full listing of the passengers at the back of the book including those who survived along with those who perished. What I found particularly shocking was the listing of Third Class Passengers, with its very low numbers of survivors. Walter Lord's book is very easy to read, though the subject matter is somewhat more difficult to digest, due to the overwhelming nature of the Titanic tragedy.

I would not hesitate to reccommend this book to anyone who was interested in the titanic. An excellent book that presents all the known facts in a clear understandable way. A must have book for anyone who wants facts.

5.0 out of 5 stars A new format for an old favourite, 21 Nov 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: A Night to Remember (BBC Radio Collection) (Audio Cassette)
"A Night to Remember" has stood the test of time and remains streets ahead of any other record of the Titanic disaster in terms of accuracy, popularity and downright readability. Walter Lord's classic was the basis of the 1958 movie of the same name, which many still regard as the greatest film adaptation of the story, and this new audio cassette version is an equally triumphant production. Martin Jarvis's voice is familiar to most of the radio and TV audience in the United Kingdom, and his role as Sir Cosmo Duff Gordon in James Cameron's epic feature film has brought him to the attention of a wider audience. His voice has tremendous warmth and a reassuring authority which makes his reading of Lord's book a fascinating "listen". It would seem that whatever medium is used to interpret Walter Lord's masterwork, it cannot fail to hold the rapt attention of the reader/viewer/listener. This is a talking book to save for a special occasion. Listen to this en route to a train destination and you'll be so wrapped up in the tale that you'll probably miss your station; listen to it on a trans-Atlantic liner and you won't sleep a wink!
