Kind of Slow, but Not Too Bad, July 7, 2010
This review is from: Ferry Down: Voyage to Disaster (Paperback)
This book is well written, but the first half of the book plods along like a bear in a dinghy. There are a lot of characters to keep track of and many of the characters that readers sympathize with and like wind up being the characters with the not so happy endings. There are some excellent parts, but overall it is difficult for readers to get to those parts because of the book's slmost documentary type of narration. If you have ever seen 'Seconds from Disaster' on NatGeo then you know what kind of narration there is in this book. Many things are repeated and the author has foreshadowed so blatantly in some places that they may as well have been separate flashbacks that disrupt the overall flow of the book. I did like it, but it was not the best disaster book I've read.
