Story Review

 The reason that this book is called “Titanic: Collision Course” is because this book is about the titanic, and the Titanic accidentally goes on a “collision course”. This book starts on Friday, April 12^th, 1912, 4:50 PM, and ends on Monday, April 15th, 1912, 12:09 AM. The main characters in this book are Paddy Burns, Sophie Bronson, Juliana Glamm, Alfie Huggins, and Jack the Ripper. The main problem in this book is that the Titanic crashes into an iceberg, and that Jack the ripper is trying to kill people. In this book, Paddy Burns is running away from the guards on the boat, because he is an accidental stowaway. Alfie Burns thinks that he has found Jack the Ripper. He thinks that he is a man named Robert Masterson, but everyone else isn’t sure. Is Mr. Masterson Jack the Ripper? Read the book and find out. The theme in this book is that even if you’re a child, you can still do important things. The main good guys in this book are all children, and they help save lots of lives.

Christian Perspective

This book is not written in a Christian perspective. In this book, sometime some of the characters misuse God’s name. There is a bit of violence in this book, and lots of peril. Quite often in this book the children disobey what they are told to do, and Paddy Burns repeatedly breaks the law.

My Thoughts

The reason that I chose this book is because I like the author Gordon Korman, and this book is by him. This book is really good. It has everything: peril, violence, drama, intensity etc. I would recommend this series (there are 3 of these books) to anyone that likes adventure books.
