Remembering the Titanic

Not as good as the first book, but worth finishing the character journeys.

You might not expect a sequel to a Titanic book to be a successfull read..but it is! After reading the first, I wanted more and this book left me very content after reading it!"Remembering the Titanic" begins at a memorial service a year after the sinking and the 4 characters are still struggeling with that night.Elizabeth is struggeling to regain her independance. Binded by her promise to her father, she has a hard time being able to leave her mother and go to college. Max is losing patience with her, but is also struggeling with his own memories of the sinking.Katie develops her singing career, but Paddy is becoming distant and desolate, wondering why he survived and not his brother.The only flaw is that Diane Hoh included an Epilouge in the first book, so we know that everything will turn out a certain way. But this book has its own plot, and there is more to find out.In the first book I found the Max/Elizabeth romance more exciting that the Irish couple, but this book greatly developed the Katie/Paddy relationship-and I found them equally appealing to Elizabeth and Max. (especially in the last chapter-my favorite part of the book)I liked the first book so much that it left me wanting more, and thats what I got with this book. I would still say the first book was better, but anyone who read the first book and fell in love with the characters like I did, must read this!

To finish the remark above, even though it may have been the only novel I've read... Anyways, I'm sure I wont read a better one. THIS BOOK IS NOT BORING FOR 1 REASON:there's the life of a young irish girl who boarded on steerage, and then a rich 1rst class girl who's father died and was asked to promise to take care of her sppoiled mother forever. Unfortunately, this young girl will have to give up many things that could help her promising future, or will she...? And for the young irish girl, who loves to sing, and loves her boyfriend, will she go forward in her wanted career, and will she forever adore her beloved Paddy? READ IT AND YOU'LL SEE......

i thought it was very well written. it wasn't fantisy it was real life. everyone is trying hard to forget the disater, but it isn't simple at all. the book shows it is not easy to get over a disater nomatter how much time may pass. elizabeth has a constant chill and is trying to live with the promise she made with her father to take care of her mother. max trys to help elizabeth but fear she is losing her sprit. katie has made a fine singing career but has homesickness and problems with paddy, and paddy can't write the book about the disater he promised his editor because he can't face reliving the terrible disater. i think if you loved the frist one you will like this one.

i'm glad she wrote a sequel to the first book. after you read the first one you were wondering what happened next. a year after the titanic sunk they were not going on with there lifes. i'm glad that we got to see what happened.

Titanic: The Long Night told a story of the Titanic disaster through the lives of five fictional teenagers on board to doomed ocean liner. Now, Remembering the Titanic tells what happened to these characters after the disaster. It's April, 1913, one year later. Katie Hanrahan is struggling to build her career as a singer in New York.

Max Whittaker has realized his dream of becoming an artist and living independent of his parents in New York, but he's having disagrements with Elizabeth, who is having trouble breaking free of the mother she promised her father she'd look after when they said goodbye on the deck of the sinking ship. When Elizabeth sees the dark, depressings paintings of the Titanic disaster that he has painted, she realizes that he, too, is struggling with the same aganozing me! ! mories of the Titanic sinking that she is. Can Elizabeth, Max, Katie, and Paddy rebuild their lives after such a devestating tragedy?
