Title: Much better than the movie!
Product review: This book provided the most basic story line for a made-for-TV movie, which I saw several times. I noticed the novel listed at the end of the credits, so I ordered it from Amazon. Am I glad I did! The book is not only so much better than the film, but one of the best 'disaster' novels I have ever read. The almost clinical presentation of the disaster facts interspersed with small character stories was an interesting writing technique. The bottom line is I found it so interesting that I read it in two days, staying up almost all night, the day it arrived. Also, found I slowed my usual reading speed to catch all the descriptions - re-reading some to imagine the experiences in the areas of London that I know well. I have already lent it to friends who are also disaster aficionados. I realize that I will probably have to buy a second - or third - copy for my library!
