It must be me

I found the narrator to have the perfect voice for this book. However, when recording the audio, I can hear her click the start/stop button quite often in the background. So much that it’s distracting to me. Wish there was a way for clean that up.

This is a new author for me. Her writing skills are interesting and appealing. The narrator does a great job.

I love any story of the Titanic. It's interesting to see how different authors find tales to tell about things that happened on the fateful night it sank. Very good story! It's a tragedy that this world will never forget. I've always been drawn to the true story of the Titanic. The story of the great flood in Johnstown, Pennsylvania is another place that's touched my heart. I wish someone would write some tales about that tragedy. More people died there than in the sinking of Titanic. The city has a big museum downtown that is worth seeing. What a horrible true event where the rich and famous played and never cared about what catastrophe would happen one rainy night!
