The Dressmaker Audiobook

" I enjoyed it as I do most books about or set on the Titanic. It was interesting to read about the backlash of the Tragedy. There are many things we will never know! though it was a work of fiction it has sparked a desire to look deeper into the aftermath of the sinking. "

" A titanic story.... Not much to say about it "

" This was disappointing. I thought it would be interesting since it was a story about the titanic. Very shallow characters. "

" Simplistic plot and hackneyed ideas. The idea was a good one but unfortunately the book was not worth reading. "

" This was such a refreshing break from some of my more serious readings. I was so relieved to find out this wasn't a book about the disastrous events of the Titanic complete with death and loss, but more a survivor's tale of progressing through such loss. I didn't love the protagonist as much as I would have liked to, but I absolutely loved the historical retelling of the Senate hearing following the Titanic disaster. It was such a unique part of history and I loved learning about it. I especially admired how the author switched perspectives, bouncing back and forth from seven different characters so the reader never grew bored with the same storyline. It was an enjoyable, fun read. "

" seemed a bit like the devil wears prada set on the titanic. the scenes where they were evacuating the ship were brief and didn't convey much emotion. since the remainder of the book is based on what happened on the ship I think it would have been more effective if the ship scenes were more detailed. "

" A different take on the aftermath of the Titanic. "

" Easy read, interesting, based on true facts. First 1/4 of the book tells about the sinking of the Titanic. The rest is the story of a few survivors and the investigation that takes place in NY following the event. Describes issues related to social class, different treatment of the gentry vs steerage passengers during the sinking, emotional trauma felt by the survivors. Not a "must read", but definetely interesting enough that it kept me up at night reading. "

" What a wonderful book - so well written. I HIGHLY recommend this book to everyone - should not be missed! "

" This one intrigue me, but let me down. Not sure what I was expecting. Wanted more from it. I did listen to this one. "

" This book kept my interest. Easy reading. Not sure if I liked the ending. "

" Interesting story of life after the Titanic sinking and the what life is like for some of the survivors. Weaves history in with this fictional story. "

" Loved the story-a different view of the sinking to the Titanic! "

" I haven't decided yet. I like the historical aspect of the book. "

" Expected more. It was ok. "

" Great historical fiction story! Easy, easy read! "

" Just getting started and really liking this book even though I know tragedy is coming, yes, the Titanic sinks. Think this will be a good read! "

" Did the author do any historical research? It was pretty off-putting to wade through several glaring errors. The characters were bland and the two main female protagonists were nearly interchangeable to boot. Not recommended. "

" Really 3 and 1/2 stars! "

" I had to push to finish. This should have been a great story, but it was so superficial, the plot was boring (can you imagine characters who survived the sinking of the Titanic as boring?). The pacing was terrible, there was a promise of drama at every turn and no pay off. Great cover, but resist. "

" I wasn't impressed...it was mildly entertaining, in my opinion. "

" I loved that this fiction novel incorporated facts from the sinking of the Titanic. "

" 8/10, got caught up in the story but didn't love the writer's style (and confusing POVs). "

" Easy read. OK, loosely based on fact. Predictable story and ending "
