A story told from many different views results in another successful endeavor by Mr. Larson.

This tale of a tragic event is blended with touches of humor and bursting with the rendering of history from cover to cover. Many of the characters like Winston Churchill and Woodrow Wilson are known to the readers before the first page. Their parts are minimal in this saga and it is the other actors on this books’ stage that we come to know and cheer for.

Larson once again informs and entertains in an easy to read manor that will satisfy the palette of anyone tasting this dish. They won’t make a movie out of “Dead Wake.” The cost would be prohibitive and, who wants to see a story about a sinking luxury cruise ship anyway?

No, to get the enjoyment about this vessel’s last voyage, people will have to go the old route and read the book. To sit outside under a sunny sky with mild temperatures while a master story teller takes you on a journey back in time and place is not too bad a way to pass an afternoon. Try it, you’ll like it.
