Because I'm a bit of an idiot instead of sleeping saturday Friday night I decided to read a book about the musicians on the titanic, or as the author explains musicians that he made up who bear no relation to the musicians on the titanic, but are on a ship exactly like it based on the exact history of the titanic. (although in the last two pages I learned the a real musicians parents sued for the loss of their only son) Moving on this book is more about the fact that people have a history then that people have a future. It focuses on how people got to the titanic not the fact that they are currently there. What creates a musician? How are they different from other people? There even seems to be an argument of loss and hurt that the book is subtly making. It is also a book about the power of music, which I cannot explain without ruining the ending, although I assume most people already sort of know this.

At moments this book got so boring I caught myself not paying attention, perhaps a bit too many details about a ship I could care less about.

However, the book is certainly interesting and is worth a moment of your time.
