What makes this recording special is its selection of survivor accounts to bring the reader onboard for the journey, the sinking, and the rescue. In many ways, it reminds me of “The Only Plane in the Sky,“ the account of 9/11 told through eyewitness accounts. The original survivor accounts, written in the prose of 1912, can be pretty dry reading. What the author has done here, and what the narrator has taken to another level, is to select excerpts from various survivor, accounts, and weave them together to bring you onboard. It tells the complete timeline of Titanic’s journey into history.
It is a marvelous job of editing and storytelling. No matter how many books or survivor accounts you have read about RMS Titanic, this concise retelling is worth your time, and much more than the nine dollar free coupon it cost me. Bravo.

There was a couple times that I felt the reader overplayed the part, and it made me a little upset, because I felt like it wasn’t honoring the memory of the passenger.
Other than that, I was very moved by it because I saw the memorable event in a way I never had before. I felt like I was seeing it more closely than ever before, and somewhat part of it. I recommend it.
