You may edit the post you are quoting here	A wonderful read! The only thing that seemed to me at the time of reading it was the sheer magnitude of raising a ship from her grave. And when Bobby Ballard finally found her and showed the footage on television it hit home that we have seen her resting place and may she lie there to remind us of the folly of technology. I rate it a 9.9! t:

I am onlygonna talk about this one scene:the bedroom scene onboard the Titanic. leave it the man who else but Dirl Pitt could get a woman on a mattress that has been soaking ion freezing water for 50+years in th emiddle of a the freezing north Atlantic (im thinking the heaters werent working in the rooms)WAY TO GO DIRK of course if ya can raise the Titanic then what ya could not accomplish? O and leave it to Pitt just to be the man to raise the Titanic wasnt enuff he also had to be the last man to ...well you know......onboard the Titanic before she made here last port of call of her maden voyage.talk about making history(not to mention making more than a few pages of the gueiness book fo records) O wait that was fiction....sorry i really get into the story sometimes .

	I thought the book was incredible. The whole idea of actually raising the Titanic and SAILING it into port really stirred my imagination! Kudos to Cussler on that one. A nice 9.7 out of 10

	I was waiting something a little better but the book was OK for me. (Night Probe is a far better book.) But the META storyline is very interesting. The action scene between Pitt and Dana -and the conversation about the president- is weird. 8/10 for me.

	QUOTE (loren1 @ Oct 7 2004, 10:45 PM) this is one of my favorite book too. The part when the titanic comes up is worth a few goosebumps. The part I like as much as that part is when they are comming into New York and they get the welcome she deserves on finishing her maiden voyage. It almost made me cry. Dirk and Dana Seagram wasn't what we expected from him, but he's grown and learned since then. definetly one of the most moving in all of clives books ...you hit the nail on the head loren..this is exactly how i felt when reading it too....im sure alot of the CCF members feel the same way...

	When I was looking for a book for a middle school book report, RTT's cover caught my eye. I read and reported on it, and the teacher ended up comparing notes with me on the previously written books that were soon read. Then the mentioning of the sex and F-bombs soon made the book an infrequently shelved item in the school library. The thought of it now makes me wander if the PC (Nazi) book burners have RTT on their hit list. This book was to me a major awakening, that had me visiting the book store to seek out any new Dirk Pitt novels. Raise the Titanic is the ultimate '70s read. It may not be Sahara, but after reading RTT over 10 times, it still reminds me that even though the true fate of Titanic is known, great fiction is way more cool than fact. I would throw my hat in with NUMA over Ballard's crew any day. RTT is a 10 for 10!

	Definetly one of Dr. Cussler's best. The plot line, the realism, the Cold War aspect (with the Soviets), etc. It was and still is a great read. Definetly a solid 10. Maybe an 11.... .

	QUOTE (Sandecker Fan @ Oct 7 2004, 05:27 PM) This book was my introduction to Dirk Pitt and I haven't been able to stop reading since.  I loved this book.  I've read two copies to tatters.  The adultery thing and the fact of the F-bomb keeps me from letting my kids read this book.  For me I'll rate this a 9.9.  "Thank God for Southby." I am in agreement here. This was my first Cussler book. I was 14 at the time. If my mom had actually known what I was reading, I never would have gotten this far!

	This is the first book where technology is described more in-depth. It's also, in my opinion, the first book where Clive has found his writing style. 9/10

	RTT was also my first Cussler book. I was absolutely blown away by the concepts developed in it even though I read it after the Titanic had been discovered to be lying in two separate pieces. I liked it how Clive inlcuded several other characters such as Dana and Gene Seagram as main characters. It was just a great book overall, with some very touching moments also inside the mine and aboard the Titanic. i give it a 9.5 of 10.

	I just finished reading it this morning. I enjoyed it but at the moment Shock wave is my favorite. I just didn't get why Dirk and Dana did it. It seemed that they hardly had any relationship until then.
