Negative Positive
Title: Worst of the Andrea Doria accounts.
Review: Having read most of the accounts of diving on the Andrea Doria and other deep diving sites I can say that this is the worst of the lot. The author is not a diver and admits it but obviously has not taken the time to have his work checked. Several references to "1-2 knots per hour" leave the reader wondering if the author has spent anytime on the water at all. Also some technical goofs where author makes clear he did not really understand some of what what communicated to him. Most aggravating is being left not knowing the outcome of the legal actions taken with regards to accidental drowning of Chris Murley. It was as if 1 or 2 chapters were missing from the end. Still some pretty good accounts of the mishaps aboard the Seeker from 1998-2001 as well as a reasonable retelling of the Andrea Doria sinking. In the end it is a worthwhile read as long as you look into the other books in this genre.
Is the review positive or negative?
