Last evening I finished reading Dead Wake by Erik Larson. I had checked it out on my Kindle App on my iPad from the Ohio State Library. I renewed it three times. It is not a long book but I have been reading more than one book at a time so my time was divided between this title and a couple of longer fiction titles. The fiction ones I could not renew and had to read within the allotted time so in other words, I got side tracked. I wanted to explain this because I don't want to give the impression I had to renew Dead Wake because I wasn't interested in the book. It is a very well written suspenseful non fiction book. Erik Larson is an artist with his approach. He builds suspense and as a reader I felt like I was on the ship. The people he described became real to me. In fact, this is one of the best non fiction books I have ever read. With the 100 year anniversary of WWI, it is an excellent time to read this book. I highly recommend it.
