An on-line version of my book journal. These are the books that I've just finished reading, and my thoughts about them. There's no real purpose for this...you don't really need to be here. It's just for my own record keeping.

I was mightly impressed with the research and writing of this book. Though a hefty 400 pages, it read smoothly.
Occassionally, early on, I was disappointed with the side-tracks ... the reporting on other vessel wrecks or seaches or the history of some of the people, but as I got further into it I realized how it helped create a complete picture of the incident in question.
A good read of a disappointing loss of life.
