Voyage on the Great Titanic - The Diary of Margaret Anne Brady, 1912 by Ellen Emerson White

As with the review of Destined by Allison Kraft earlier this week, this review is in order to commemorate the centennial of the sinking of the Titanic. Originally I had planned to review three books about the Titanic this week, but unfortunately circumstances meant that I only had time to read two of the three.

This particular book is one that I’ve owned since I was only ten or so. I read it a few times before we moved to France but I never touched it again after that. This means that it’s been at least 11 years since I last read it. As my mother brought it over with a batch of other books that had been stored in my room there, I figured now was as good a time as any to revisit it.

I had no strong memories either way of this book so I went into it with a clean slate.

Title: Voyage on the Great Titanic, The Diary of Margaret Anne Brady, R.M.S. Titanic, 1912

Author: Ellen Emerson White

Series: My Story, Dear America

Publisher: Scholtastic

Target Audience: Children (8+)

Genre: Historical, diary

Length: 189 pages (story stops at p159)

Story: Monday, 15 April 1912
It was after midnight, I could still hear people moving about in the passageway. Before I had time to go out and join them, there was a sharp knock on my door. I opened it to see Robert. He was smiling, but his eyes looked urgent.

"Good evening, Miss Brady," he said "Need to put on something warm, and report to the Boat Deck with your life belt."

Miss Brady? When I heard that, I felt alarmed for the first time, but I was also startled....

"A routine drill," he said. "No need to fret."

I knew he needed to get on with his duties, so I found a smile for him and nodded.... Robert started for the next stateroom, but then stopped. "You'll not want to take your time," he said in a very quiet voice.

It did not seem possible--but maybe this was not a drill.

Thoughts and impressions: I have to be honest, the first third or so of the book is not particularly interesting or inspiring. The story starts several days prior to the ship sailing and a lot of scene setting takes place. The reader learns that Margaret is an orphan who was left at a convent by her brother when living on the streets meant that her health had taken a turn for the worse. He left to make a living in America, the plan being for her to join him there as soon as he’d saved up enough for her crossing. Fortunately for her, an American woman in need of a companion chooses to take Margaret with her on the Titanic.

The first third is mostly talking about the orphanage, the hotel where Mrs Carstairs is staying, Margaret’s own past, etc. Eventually they get to Southampton and they’re on the ship. Margaret’s from a family that always struggled to get by even before she lost both of her parents so travelling first class on such a ship as the Titanic is something that she would never even have dreamt of under normal circumstances. It also means that the reader gets the unique perspective of a young girl (she’s 13) discovering such opulence for the first time in her life. It also means that she’s able to give a specific commentary of those on board with her.

Unfortunately, it also means that she’s in the dark about certain things. When the ship hits the iceberg she naïvely believes there to be enough lifeboats for everyone on board and spends most of her time just observing the other people on deck. The very simplistic voice of a younger narrator also lends a very poignant side to this story. The way the final, devastating events are shown in such terms reduced me to tears (though I have to admit that this could be due to fatigue and emotional levels). This commentary of events was far more effective than any flowery prose ever could be.

Taking into consideration that this book is aimed at children, it is a wonderful exploration of how circumstances were that night for the first class passengers for such an audience. Moreover, there are a historical note, a timeline of events and a number of photographs after the final page of the story that will ensure that the reader has a good grasp of the actual history. It’s a sad, sad day when people believe in ignorance that the 1997 Titanic film was entirely fictional (I have to wonder whether these people slept through school or even paid attention to the start of the film with all the footage of the real Titanic at the bottom of the ocean).

Anyway, this story is a wonderful introduction to the story of the Titanic. It is one that I will be keeping for the day when I have children of my own and they are old enough to appreciate the book.

Style: As mentioned, simplistic but all the more poignant for it.

Final verdict: In spite of the fact that the start of the story was slow and not all that interesting, I’m giving this book the full 5 stars.

Extra notes: No swearing. No sex.

The UnTied Kingdom by Kate Johnson

Buy the book: Amazon US, Amazon UK, Barnes and Noble

This book caught my attention some time ago. The title, for me as a Brit, was already sure to catch my attention. The cover conveys the war-torn idea as well as the romance. The synopsis immediately had me sold. But the book in paperback was fairly expensive. When I got my Kindle, though, I had this light bulb moment to check the price on Amazon. At that time it was 99c (it’s a bit more now) so I bought it immediately and read it that same night, putting off sleep because I just wanted to read more, more, more!

Information:

Title: The UnTied Kingdom

Author: Kate Johnson

Publisher: International Publishers Marketing, Inc.

Target Audience: Adult

Genre: Sci-fi, romance

Length: 403 pages

Story: The portal to an alternate world was the start of all her troubles – or was it?

When Eve Carpenter lands with a splash in the Thames, it’s not the London or England she’s used to. No one has a telephone or knows what a computer is. England’s a third world country and Princess Di is still alive. But worst of all, everyone thinks Eve’s a spy.

Including Major Harker who has his own problems. His sworn enemy is looking for a promotion. The general wants him to undertake some ridiculous mission to capture a computer, which Harker vaguely envisions running wild somewhere in Yorkshire. Turns out the best person to help him is Eve.

She claims to be a pop star. Harker doesn’t know what a pop star is, although he suspects it’s a fancy foreign word for ‘spy’. Eve knows all about computers, and electricity. Eve is dangerous. There’s every possibility she’s mad.

And Harker is falling in love with her.

Thoughts and impressions: I feel that this review requires a bit of a disclaimer. It’s very important for me to point out that I read this book when I wasn’t in the best place emotionally (it’s ok, I’ve snapped back now! =) ) but The Untied Kingdom was the perfect book for me at that time. I loved it. I absolutely adored it. It was exactly what I look for in a romance. There was a slow-burning attraction between the two main characters buoyed by events in a war-torn England.

The main character, Eve Carpenter, is a washed up celebrity has-been who lost everything in her fall from grace. Now, in order to make some money, she’s participating in a TV show designed to humiliate such fallen celebs. Unfortunately for Eve, when she loses control during a paragliding event, she ends up falling through a hole between worlds. The world she ends up in is also England, but in an alternate reality. Columbus never discovered America so the technology in this world is not as advanced;  King Charles is living with the King of California while ex-Queen Diana is in Egypt with her lover.  The French Empire rules the industrialised world, and the decision to let them into England is what sparked this new English civil war.

England is war-torn, with the rebels targeting the King’s forces with uncanny accuracy. The King’s forces believe they have computers given to them by the French Empire. Eve seems to know all about computers, knowledge that no English person should have considering technology is practically inexistent in the country. Obviously, Eve is a French spy. Or a mental case. Either way, she gets locked up in the local loony bin / prison. Eve herself even starts to believe that she must be some sort of mental case and loses all confidence in her own memory.

But when the man who saved her life, Major Harker, is sent north to steal a computer, he realises that he needs someone with him who actually knows how to use the thing. The only person who he knows who supposedly has any knowledge about how computers work is Eve Carpenter. So he gets permission to take her with him and she gets a crash course on life in the army in a third world country.

There are some really powerful scenes in this book that really shine. The scene where Eve is roped in to being an emergency nurse in a church-turned-hospital after a rebel attack was particularly good. Then there’s the one where Eve is removing pieces of shattered keyboard from Harper’s chest. There are more, of course, but these were two in particular that have really stuck with me.

Of course, Eve, as a former pop star is particularly interested in music. The people in this England have never heard of The Beatles or the Broadway version of Les Misérables, or even Les Misérables at all! Eve sings for the company that she’s travelling with, but often enough Harper does not agree with the messages in her songs and will forbid her from singing them again. This leads to tension between the two as Eve feels stifled by this world she’s found herself in and then even more stifled by Harper’s rules. At the same time she’s a bit like a ship without anchor and Harper presents the closest thing to an anchor that she has around her.

The romance between Eve and Harper was exactly what I wanted to read after a few books that had romances that hadn’t really tickled my fancy too well. This romance was just my cup of tea. It was allowed to build slowly on both sides and when it finally came to a head it felt so much more fulfilling for it!

I have to admit that it’s true that the book is not really as polished as it could have been but that really didn’t matter to me at all once I’d started reading. It is rather like a modern day sci-fi (in that it’s an alternate reality) version of a Mills & Boon, but who cares? If it’s good, it’s good. And this book was good.

Style: It could have been more polished in places but overall that didn’t matter to me at all.

Final verdict: I love, love, love this book. It’s one of my new favourites. I already want to read it a second time!

Extra notes: Both bad language and sex are present. This book is set in a warzone, so there’s a fair amount of blood, gore and some torture.

Follow Friday - 13/04/2012

Follow Friday is a weekly meme hosted by Parajunkee and Alison can read. Each week participants are given a prompt. This week's is:  

Q: What is one book that you would be nervous to see a movie adaption of because you think the movie could never live up to the book?

There are so many possible answers to this question! I think it's very hard to translate a good book well to the silver screen: there are so many things in a book that you can't have in a movie. I'm going to go with Warrior Daughter by Janet Paisley. 

It's not a very well known book, I know. It's about one of the Celtic Queens of Britannia who stood against the advancing Roman armies. There's so much nudity and sex in the book that I don't think they could ever make a good film of the story without changing its whole essence.

How about you? Leave a comment with a link to your blog and I'll be sure to pop over and leave a comment in return when I get home this evening!

Happy hopping and have a great weekend!

Get A Taste: Voyage on the Great Titanic

Tara of Basically Books and I often read very different books but sometimes find interesting new books to potentially add to the ever-growing monsters that our TBR piles have morphed into. However, we know that we do not have 100% the same taste and we wanted another way of getting a look at these books...

Do you ever feel like getting a bit of a taster for a book you’ve been thinking of reading but aren’t fully sold on yet? Do you feel like sharing a taster for your current read with the world? Well, here’s your chance.

Each week the random number generator will pick a number between 1 and 100 for books with pages or 1 and 25% for ebooks. We figured that these numbers would keep us out of spoiler territory. Open your book to the specified place and pick a paragraph. Share it with the world!

The numbers for this week are:

Page 28 for books

18% for ebooks

I was able to choke out his name, and William must have been crying, too because he blinked a good deal and his voice was thick. He wrapped his arms around me, told me I was his best girl, and promised to come back as soon as he could to take proper care of me. Then, as the sky faded from black to grey, he handed me a piece of toffee wrapped in sticky paper.

"Make it last until the ladies come outside," he said.

Unfortunately I have had next to no time for reading so far this week. Sad face. I want to have this book read and reviewed by Saturday... I hope I manage to fit that time frame!! It's one that I bought as a child and I've read it before but that was over ten years ago. It was high time for a reread and with it being the centennial, it seemed the perfect occasion. It's a book written for a younger audience, which means it tends to be more straight to the point than I prefer, but I think it's perfect for the audience it's aimed at.

Do you want to join in too? Here’s how:

Step 1: Copy and paste the Get A Taste image.

Step 2: Copy and paste our intro or write your own but it must link back to both of our blogs.

Step 3: Find the designated page for the week.

Step 4: Type out a paragraph or so from your book.

Step 5: Post it and share it!

We would appreciate it if you'd leave a comment letting us know where we can find your post. We'll be sure to pop on by and leave a comment!

Shayla Witherwood: A Half-Faerie Tale by Tamra Torero

I received this book courtsey of the publisher from NetGalley.

If I’m honest, I couldn’t say what exactly it is that drew me to this book. It’s not a book that I’d heard of before, but then I’m always one to try anything that comes my way! I liked the sound of the blurb and that was enough in this case. I didn’t even go and read any other reviews to see if it might be for me. Whatever it was that drew me to the book, the prospect of it appealed to me.

Information:

Title: Shayla Witherwood: A Half-Faerie Tale

Author: Tamra Torero

Publisher: Cedar Fort

Target Audience: YA

Pages: 312

Chapters: 29

PoV: 1^st person

Tense: Past tense

Story: A brief moment of disappointment washed over me as I approached Jace’s lifeless body. Here I was, about to kiss a boy on the lips for the very first time, and he was completely comatose—possibly paralyzed—and would never even know or remember the experience. This was not how I’d envisioned my first kiss—me invisible, him unconscious. 

Shayla Witherwood is not exactly normal. First of all, she’s spent her entire life being homeschooled, traveling in an RV around the country with her grandparents. And second, there’s the kind of inescapable fact that her mom was a genuine faerie. 

But now that she’s starting a real life in a regular high school, Shayla desperately needs to stay out of trouble in both worlds because even her faerie powers might not be enough to protect her from what’s coming. 

In her latest novel, Tamra Torero spins a magical tale filled with laugh-out-loud sarcasm, surprising twists, and spell-binding romance. Perfect for fairytale fans of all ages, this is one story you won’t want to miss!

(from Goodreads)

Thoughts and impressions: First of all, because I feel this is important, I’m going to point out that this story isn’t in any way bad. It’s very reminiscent of the stories I would read on FictionPress back in the day (the good ones, that is as anyone who’s been on FictionPress will know that it has a very wide range of quality). It’s enjoyable from start to finish. It’s a high school tale with a paranormal (half-)faerie twist. The only problem is that there is very little by way of danger.

It stays in the fairly safe zone of the cliché high school story: new girl (albeit with a half-faerie twist); geeky guy best friend; unpopular girl best friend; popular cheerleader who’s nasty to everyone and looks down on her ‘followers’; good looking jock who takes an interest in the new girl; posse who surrounds evil cheerleader and romantic interest jock.

For a long time, the focus is on Shayla fitting in at public school after having spent her whole life moving around the country with her grandparents in their mobile home. Obviously, public school is very different to the home-schooling that she’s used to. Not to mention that the faerie half of her can make things difficult – such as turning invisible or having to find a way to deal with her pointed ears when she’s required to tie her hair back in science class.

I really didn’t understand where the romantic interest came from. For Shayla, sure, he was good looking and she felt some form of attraction. For Jace, I am completely clueless. As of the very first day he shows interest in her and there’s no explanation as to why he would. What was with him inviting her to be part of the student council or committee or whatever it was? It gets mentioned when he invites her to be a part of it and then it gets dropped. They never have a meeting or anything like that. In that way, the romance didn’t really work for me. It was sweet, but it didn’t have a foundation. I might have overlooked this a few years ago but as it is, I found I wasn’t particularly interested in whether or not Shayla and Jace had a future together.

The other thing is that only one lesson is ever shown: first period science class. There are also plenty of scenes in the cafeteria, but we never see Shayla in any other class. Why not? Well, possibly to keep from boring the reader with passages where little happens, but it got to the point where it felt like science class was the only one that existed.

Eventually some sort of threat is introduced, but it doesn’t actually becoming very threatening until the very end of the book. I think I just wanted more of a sense of danger from the book. As it was, it was mostly about day to day life in high school. I’ve done that once and it’s not something I’m in a rush to get back to (though of course my lycée experience was very different to the typical American high school experience).

As for the ending itself, there were a lot of new, different ideas introduced very quickly that were never expanded on. Had they been introduced earlier on in the story, I might have cared about them, but as it was they only garnered some form of mild interest from me. The author had stuck me in a situation where (I think) she expected me to get caught up in the action but because all of this had had no lead up, I didn’t really manage to get beyond a mild interest.

Mister Digby was an interesting character – possibly the most interesting. He was one of the few where the author managed to leave me unsure of where I stood with him. I went through phases with him. At first I thought he was another faerie, then I thought he was some form of troll, and then I just couldn’t figure him out at all. The descriptions of him were good, though. I kept imagining something similar to Professor Flitwick form the Harry Potter books.

As I said at the start of the review, the book isn’t bad. It’s just slow and it should be taken as such. This is not the sort of story where the action keeps you on the edge of your seat. It’s one to be enjoyed in a moment of calm. I think it’d appeal to younger female readers (maybe 12 or 13+) more than it will to older readers. There are loose ends and things that could have been improved but overall I enjoyed the story.

Style: I received an ARC of this book so some of the things I noticed that stuck out will likely have been fixed prior to publication. Two of the big ones, though, were that the term ‘faerie’ was sometimes spelt ‘fairie’ and their mobile home was sometimes called Brutus and other times Brutis. Other than these things, the style was actually polished so it surprised me that I found such mistakes.

Final verdict: I wish I’d read this book as a young teen. I think that had I read it then, I would have really loved it. As an adult, I felt it kept me at a distance and I missed having some form of threat hanging heavily over the characters. I enjoyed it but it didn’t really grab my attention – I didn’t feel compelled to go back to the book, I chose to do so. In other words, I was interested but I wasn’t addicted. 3 stars

Extra notes: I didn’t notice any bad language. No sex.

Destined by Allison Kraft

So many people out there are fascinated by the disaster of the Titanic – I am no exception. With the centennial of the ship’s sinking only a few days away, I decided to also set sail on this most famous of ships. 

April 10^th 1912: the Titanic leaves Southampton dock on its maiden voyage. April 10^th 2012: I bring you the review of Destined by Allison Kraft – a time travel story with romance, vampires and the knowledge of the looming danger of what is coming.

Information:

Title: Destined

Author: Allison Kraft

Publisher: Self-published

Target Audience: Adult

Length: 290 pages

Story: While flying across the Atlantic on the centennial anniversary of the Titanic's tragic maiden voyage, Apolline Greer, last in a long line of vampire hunters, finds herself suddenly transported from her airliner cabin to an eerily familiar ocean liner cabin—as well as the entirely unfamiliar body of her ancestor, Noelle Greer. Upon learning that she is, in fact, on board the very ship she’s been fascinated with all her life, she knows there's only one thing to do: get off as soon as possible. 

But whether by destiny, freak coincidence or a really vivid dream, Apolline finds that her trip back in time comes with three very good reasons to stay on board: Alexander Walker, a handsome and charming fellow vampire hunter; Cristof, the vampire that has tormented her family for generations and very likely killed her own mother; and Sasha, the vampire Noelle was sent to kill. 

Time, however, is not on Apolline's side. The Titanic is on a collision course with destiny, and she only has four days to complete her quest. What seemed like more than enough time at the start quickly becomes too short as she finds that hunting vampires on a luxury ocean liner is much more difficult than she expected. Sasha and Cristof become more elusive as each day passes, while her feelings for Alexander become increasingly complicated. As that fateful night approaches, will she regret her decision to stay and witness history first-hand?

Thoughts and impressions: The story opens in Ireland in 2012 with a bit of scene setting. Apolline is there on an assignment to take out a vampire, but with the impending centennial of the disaster, things are pretty Titanic-centric in Belfast, the city where the Titanic was built. At this point the book is rather apologetic about Apolline’s vast knowledge of the Titanic and it got old fast. There’s even this quote: “After all, it was the Titanic disaster that prompted all the maritime safety laws to be amended so that all ships had to have enough lifeboats for everyone on board, and all wireless rooms had to stay active 24 hours a day, not to mention the establishment of the International Ice Patrol. (I didn’t normally know that much detail about the disaster, but with it being the 100^th anniversary, there had been a lot of documentaries on TV lately, especially during my short stay in Belfast where it was even bigger news.)”  This, however, does not make sense. Especially when you take into consideration that later in the book Apolline is shown to have a vast library of both books and DVDs about the Titanic – the 1997 James Cameron movie being her all-time favourite – and her knowledge of the disaster supposedly rivals that of the tour givers at the Titanic exhibition. Why, then, are there so many passing remarks about her Titanic-trivia being due to the anniversary rather than just her interest in the events of the disaster? This did get a bit frustrating at times because it felt like the author was trying to excuse her character having so much knowledge about something she’s obviously interested in.

Things soon move to the Titanic in 1912. Rather than being transported there in body, Apolline is, instead, inhabiting the body of an ancestor, Noelle, who was actually on the Titanic. Being of a long line of vampire hunters who do not tend to reach old age, she figures that she has been sent there to complete and assignment that her ancestor was unable to complete before disaster struck and the ship went down.

Apolline has a “watcher” who informs her of her assignments. She’s never met him and he only communicates by mail. She calls him Giles in reference to the Buffy show. When she arrives in 1912, she discovers that the same Giles was communicating with her ancestor. Unfortunately, after this point Giles is pretty much dropped from the story and his role in everything, exactly what he is, etc. – none of it is ever brought up and explored again.

In fact, the whole vampire plot itself seemed rather contrived at times and a mere device to get a present-day character in this specific historical setting. The idea that Apolline is a vampire hunter is used as the explanation for why time travel is also possible, both being outside of the realm of the ordinary. The vampires themselves don’t actually play much of a role in the story and don’t tend to show up very often. Even the final climax on the Titanic between vampire and hunter was over so quickly that if you blinked you’d have missed it. I would have preferred more of an impact from that particular scene.

But as I said, that wasn’t the crux of the story. The crux was the exploration of the ship itself as well as the social mores at that time from the eyes of a modern character. There was a bit too much attention paid to the clothing. After all, they did get changed at least three times per day in that day and age and Apolline describes her outfits each time she puts on a new one. I know some readers do like to have clothes described in detail as that sort of thing helps them to build a better picture in their own heads, but I’m not one of them. I consider clothes to be an unnecessary distraction detail that detracts from the story itself. Other than that, I was completely fascinated by the picture painted here. It’s true that a lot of the time stories about the Titanic tend to concentrate on either the opulence of first class or the conditions in third class. Very few books explore how it was for a second class character. This book is one of those few that choose to take a look at second class and the people who were travelling there.

The author incorporated a lot of people who really were on the Titanic. I think only the two main characters – Apolline and her fellow vampire hunter / romantic interest Alex – are fictional. She treated each of these characters with the respect that the memory of a real individual deserves.

Alex himself made for a wonderful hero. He’s the first other vampire hunter that Apolline has ever met and he was a worthy romantic interest. He was obviously smitten with Apolline, even when it gets to the point where she feels that she has to share her unbelievable truths – that the ship will soon sink and most of those on the liner will not survive. He didn’t know what to make of it all, but he still felt drawn to this unusual woman.

It was obvious that it was going to be a bittersweet ending. At one point, Alex says “I’d follow you anywhere, even to the future.” I think I latched on to that line more than I should have. After all, the characters have no knowledge of how this time travel thing works, so how would he go about following the woman he’s fallen in love with from his own time to her time? The author works this in a very unexpected way. I’m not entirely sure how I feel about it as when I latch onto a romantic interest, I very rarely budge enough to accept another one, even in spite of the links between the two that are present in this case. I recognise the sweetness behind how things are wrapped up, but at the same time I’m not sold about it.

The Titanic sinks around the 70% mark of the story and the final 30% is about Apolline getting to grips with how her life has changed with this experience. She accompanies her neighbour and original crush (before she went back in time) to a Titanic exhibition about the disaster. At the end of the tour, the passengers are listed with each one marked as having survived or lost their life on the 15^th April 1912. This section of the story is extremely poignant. I felt completely torn apart by it as it made me stop and think about some of the points that are brought up. What is said there is true, very true, and it makes me sad that sometimes we overlook the human tragedy to focus on the mystery of the disaster instead. All those who died were real humans who lived real lives and who lost them. They deserve to be remembered but they also deserve to be allowed to rest in peace.

I’ve got to the point where I’m feeling emotional now so I’m going to wrap up here.

Style: Very well-written that drew me in very quickly.

Final verdict: Although perhaps not the best novel out there about the Titanic, it was well-researched and really made me stop and think about some of things. I left me feeling very melancholy and with a novel like this I consider that a sign of success. 4 stars

Extra notes: Some bad language. No sex.

The Cover Wars: Blood Red Road

Tara of Basically Books and I decided to get together to do a weekly meme where we would compare covers of the UK editions of books with those of the US editions.

The aim of this is to just have a bit of fun. We put ourselves in the position where we see both of these books side by side in the bookstore. Which would we choose? Why that one and not the other?

This week we'll be comparing the covers of Blood Red Road by Moira Young.

Note: This book now has a new cover, but we’ve taken the images of the two original covers.

              

US Cover                                                     UK Cover

Rea says: I’m afraid that in this case the UK cover just doesn’t do much for me at all. I’m not sure what exactly it is about the cover art that puts me off but it really doesn’t appeal to me. The US cover, though, is just… wow! I love the feeling of desolation, of emptiness, of solitude that the artist has managed to convey through a mere image.  Even better, it’s so pretty! I love that cover. US for me.

Tara says: This is a really hard one because I like them both for different reasons. I like the US version because of the dust and the person who is walking through it. The title is also really artistic in the US version. I like the UK version because I haven’t really seen a book cover quite like that. I am going to base this on which book would I buy if I walked into a shop and saw both side by side. I would definitely buy the UK version.
