Response to Distant Waves

This book can't be over!
NO!
It was....the best book...ever.
        So maybe I'm exaggerating, and this book certainly isn't for everyone. But such a wonderful and enticing historical fiction book involving romance and time travel I've never seen! I've never thought about the Titanic like this...a place for love, fun and comfort. I just assumed that it was a tragedy the moment the passengers stepped onboard.
       Jane Taylor is a fictional main character. But she encounters many famous and very rich actual people--John Jacob Astor, Mr. Guggenheim, and the not-so famous or rich but brilliant Nicola Tesla. This conflict--of fact and fiction--happens all the time in books, but until I read this particular book I had yet to notice how exiciting the combination can be! So--summarized, if you want a haunting tale of the Titanic including a romance, two engagements, time travel, a mad scientist, and psychic twins...
       Well, if that sounds good, you shouldn't be reading this. You should at the local bookstore by now.

Comments during book: Distant Waves, Suzanne Weyn page 54 Beautiful writing. It's set in the late 1800's/early 1900's, so the language is pretty advanced and fancy, but i'm managing to keep my head above water. It reminds me a lot of The Witch of Blackbird Pond, by Elizabeth Speare, which is one of my favorite books. It must have been easier for Speare to write in an old-fashioned way, seeing as that book was written much longer ago than Distant Waves. So how does Weyn do it? It's a mystery.				11/2/10	by 713eliza	Delete
