The Watch That Ends the Night by Allan Wolf

5.0

Ever since I was a child, I have been facinated by the Titanic. I got this book... probably around 2013? I’ve finally been able to finish it in 2020, 108 years after the sinking.

Yes, there are some historical inaccuracies, but that doesn’t get in the way of my enjoyment of the book.

I love how there are around 20 different perspectives featured in the book. I also loved how it was written in prose. Did it need to be? No. Did I mind that it was? No.

As the author states at the end of the book, this is ment to appeal to the humanity in all of us. Instead of focusing soley on the ship, you are transported as each of the passengers, a ship rat, iceberg, and much more. In the final chapters you can feel the dispare. I also loved how at the very end you could read the stories of the real life people the book takes inspiration from. I will be reading this book again, and would recommend it to anyone who is curious about the people of the Titanic.

PS. The cover is amazing. As someone who does graphic design professionally, the design of the cover is amazing.
