![]() ![]() ![]() Which is a shame because I honestly liked the beginning of this book and style of writing. ![]() Characters would travel (or even show some type growth of understanding) and I cared to get to know the varying classes of passengers, their own painful secrets on that cold April night and what happened to them long after the smoke cleared from the snapping bulbs of ravenous reporters waiting to pounce on pier 59 and 54, but then this novel would just leave me in the dark waiting for a return or another mention as it set different characters adrift after reaching any excitement. Thinking back that seemed to happen quite often in On a Cold Dark Sea. ![]() While On a Cold Dark Sea opens with chapters of intriguing dramatic possibilities and provides the bits and always popular well-known information about the RMS Titanic and even plays respectively with some legends about its more illustrious passengers this book, unfortunately, lacked fluency as the loose frayed lines of connections between characters became an overly tangled story where emotions and outbursts seemed to take over and in the end did not convey a complete point but only faded to black after a long predictable sentimental scene. ![]()
