Title: hastily written Titanic saga..
Product review: Every Man for Himself chronicles the lives of a several wealthy passengers on the Titanic. The sinking of the Titanic, while making the end of the book a rather emotional read, does not compensate for the dreary, impersonal narration which characterizes most of the novel. The wealthy passenges involved are pretentious, insecure, and thoroughly unlikeable idiots. Similar emotional traumas have been played out in much better novels than this. Worse, Ms. Bainbridge focuses too much time on the dialogue between the main characters. For much of the novel you forget that they are on a ship, let alone on the Titanic.Every Man for Himself is certainly not a bad novel. It's just very ordinary, .. a wasted opportunity.
