Negative Positive
Title: A Real Page-Turner!
Review: I sat down with a coffee to flip through this; a few hours later, I had finished it, without a pause. The accident is viewed from the perspective of crew and passengers, from first-class to tourist class. "Desperate Hours" lacks the tedious scientific detail that bogged down "A Perfect Storm," yet adds enough (through diagrams and photographs) to give a chilling portrait of an experienced crew sailing a seaworthy vessel -- and sinking to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean only hours from land. A great read.
