A TRIUMPHANT ACCOUNT OF A LEGENDARY LINERBy Jacob FloydI knew very little about the Queen Mary; other than some of the haunts; before reading this book; but by the time I was done; I felt like I knew it like Id been on it thirty times. Brian Clune and Bob Davis have written a riveting account of this grand and historic vessel; from its life as a luxury liner to its time as a powerful war vessel; and finally as a glorious relic of the past that people can visit and appreciate. A plethora of haunted activity has been reported on the Queen through the years; and the authors take you right in as if they were leading you on a ghost hunt. I really enjoyed this book. It made me really care about the ship and had me pulling for her survival. Great read. Cant wait to read more of Mr. Clune and Mr. Davis impeccable work.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
