The is the type of book that can give the reader a deep look into the lives of some of the passengers of the Titanic, while telling the story of the ship and it's sinking. What I found out after finishing the book was that most if the voices in THE WATCH THAT ENDS THE NIGHT were real passengers on the Titanic. Some parts of their story was fictionalized, but most of the background story of the characters' live were true. Wolf reveals through pages and pages of citations, biographies, and the numbers of those lost, found, and the statistics of the ship itself that a long and detailed process of research was used to write this. He tried his hardest to separate the false assumptions that we know of the Titanic from the real facts. I praise him for doing so, as it has now made me curious to find out what happened to a few of the survivors (mentioned, or a voice in this book) after the sinking of the Titanic. In particular, I am quite interested to find out what happened to Madeline Astor, the pregnant teen bride to the richest man in the world [at that time], John Jacob Astor. I really liked how almost all of the telegrams and letters sent to and from the Titanic, as written in this story, were real telegrams retrieved from archives , including the calls for help and the responses. Written in verse, THE WATCH THAT ENDS THE NIGHT was a bit slow to read at first. Obviously, as the reader, we all know the tragic fate of the Titanic, so I kept anticipating for the impact for the first half of the book. When the Titanic does collide with the iceberg, things pick up fast, and soon turn into heartbreaking stories through the two dozen voices in this book. My favourite voice was definitely the young refugee, Jamila Nicola-Yarred, and my least favourite was the iceberg itself. Yes, it seems weird that one of the voices of the story included the inanimate iceberg that collided with the Titanic, but it was interesting. Wolf transformed the iceberg into a living person that craved for the destruction and the lives on the Titanic. This is written as a piece of historical fiction, but many of the names, the people, the times and the telegrams were real.
