A friend lent this to me because he knows of my knowledge of the Titanic and because I read some of the Anita Blake series. While the concept seemed interesting, it wasn't realized here. The writing had it's moments, both good and bad, it did not capture me like I thought it would. Also, there were too many historical inaccuracies which were very easy to check on and were just ignored. I also thought the author would try to start from a historically accurate frame, move to the "suspension of belief" phase, and then return to a historically accurate ending. He did not do so. It wasn't the worst way to recuperate from strep and laryngitis. ( ) A friend lent this to me because he knows of my knowledge of the Titanic and because I read some of the Anita Blake series.

It wasn't the worst way to recuperate from strep and laryngitis. After abandoning one novel about the Titanic because the stretched out narrative was boring me silly, I mistakenly jumped off the sinking ship and into the North Atlantic. Carpathia has a clever premise - and the name of the ship which picked up the survivors of the Titanic also has vague connotations to Stoker's novel - but the writing is dreadful, on a schoolboy fan fiction/b-movie level of bad grammar and clumsy dialogue. If one more character 'stabbed their finger' instead of simply pointing, I would have had to destroy a library book. Anyway. The cleverest element of this novel is the cover and the tagline - 'The lucky ones went down with the Titanic'. Mr Forbeck should have printed an apology to the survivors of the unsinkable ship, not a dedication in their memory. And I should think Bram Stoker is turning in his grave, too. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
When the lucky survivors of the world's most infamous maritime disaster were plucked out of the freezing ocean by the passenger steamship Carpathia, they thought their problems were over. But something is sleeping in the darkest recesses of their rescue ship. Something old. Something hungry. "Carpathia is a dangerous collision of rich historical drama and epic horror. Beautifully written, completely disturbing...and highly recommended." --Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of Assassin's Code No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
