This is a fantastic read, and the movie is amazing as well. The story unfolds itself so subtly that I think it is beyond the ken of many average readers. If, however, you have an analytical mind, the kind that doesn't stop at the surface of things, this is a fantastic story. I've read this book 3 times, and watched the movie about 20 times--and each time I watch it I have to stop the movie every few minutes, and discuss with my hubby what was said, what it really means, what wasn't said, what was implied...and who knows what at this point. EVERY time I watch it, I grow more and more fond of it...there is always something new, and subtle that is SO EASY to overlook, and if you do so, you will be completely lost. I mean, where am I and what is going on lost. If, however, you give this your FULL attention, and REALLY work for it, it's an amazing journey.Read full review

I saw the movie first and thought it lacked clarity. Hoping to rectify that, I bought the book. Found the same problem. It is not because of reading at a 5th grade level, as I am reading Dead Wake right now and I am totally pulled into the book and feel like I am on the Lusitania's fateful voyage. No.....I would not recommend this book to anyone.
