I really enjoyed this. Some of the science was a bit detailed for me, but overall, it wasn't too bad. I did find some of the information on “rusticles” (what most people see as mineral deposits forming on the ship, Pellegrino and his fellow scientists call rusticles (like icicles), and they are not mineral deposits, but they are “alive”!), quite interesting.
Of course the best parts of the book for me, though, were the stories of the people on the Titanic and the play-by-play of what happened that night. One thing I've probably read about before, but I'm not sure if I got as much info from what else I've read, and found incredibly interesting (and horrifying) was the reaction of the crew on the nearby Californian, as they watched what was happening, but did nothing to help.
There were also some nice illustrations throughout the book. Initially, they were of artifacts found, but later there were some of the ship and minute-by-minute as it was filling up with water and where that water was, and more. ( )
