Taking the Titanic by James Patterson (Book Shots)


In this book the facts about the Titanic are cleverly interweaved into this story. The story is a solid, well written idea. However, I don’t think this book would be as popular if it wasn’t based on or used the Titanic and had been overlaid onto another unknown ship.

The kidnapping story line is good but being on a ship, yes a big one and there are places to hide, but the characters are still confined to a ship in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean with no way off. I can’t help feel that with a big enough search party it would hinder the plot afoot, even without the ship sinking eventually getting in the way of the plan.

The ending seems a bit far-fetched and shows a lot of artistic licence, but it is nice to see the characters intending to reform.


This is not one of the best stories set on or around the Titanic I have read, neither is this one of the worst. So this book is still worth reading if you have an interest in the Titanic story.
