Review:Beautifully written, it reminded me of the Great Gatsby and A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. The narrative was gentle and slow, but didn't drag. The characters were genuine and were introduced at a very natural pace. Instead of formulaic, predictable, or forced writing, Nevil Shute produced a touching narrative that flowed very sincerely. The premise was realistic and heart-wrenching and I just thoroughly enjoyed the book. Read more

Review:As humans we all make mistakes. The reasons are wide and mainly because we aren't computers that operate "by the rules". This book is a fun reading. It shows phenomenal mistakes we are doing.
A lot of the stories are probably from the same sources as others books I have read on the subjects. But they are nice to be remembered.

I did enjoy the story about us straightening the map. It appears that when we have a map in our head we straighten the curves. I saw it myself while driving the ... Read more
