I bought 29 Missing as a gift for my husband, started to read a few pages, and simply could not put it down! I loved the way the author gives all the fascinating details of the Fitzgerald's last voyage and tells about the later expeditions down to the wreck. Some of the other books on the Fitz that I tried to choose from were so dry and included too much technical information. This one tells a story of real human interest that anyone can understand and has photos and a great map so that you can follow the voyage as you read it. When I finished this book, I felt like I had a clear idea of all the reasons why the ship went down and how incredible it was that more ships were not lost that night, especially in the rescue attempts. As far as I am concerned, 29 Missing is the best book you could buy about the Fitzgerald. My husband loved it too!

I believe that the book 29 Missing is facinating for readers of all ages! I am 11 years old and I only knew about the Titanic until I read this.It is a great source of information about the Edmund Fitzgerald. To me, this book was both interesting and amazing. I've learned a lot while reading this book, and I hope that you do too.

This book is only 46 pages,not 70 as advertised. The $14 is far too much to pay for such a small booklet. It just provides a cursory look at the incident. No in depth look,interviews or details. I was disappointed and was expecting more than I got.

I am an avid reader of books and magazines. And I have to say that 29 Missing is if not the best then one of the best pieces of work I have ever read. It is obvious that the author knows his material. It is not a long book to bore you, but it isn't too short. It covers everything possible. The pictures in this book are amazing. I never knew what a newt suit was before! Also, the map in the book was very useful. I can actually look on a map and find approximetly the Fitz sank! It's great. I am an eighth grader, and I think it's great that there is such a great book that is good for any ages from 12 and 13, or even a man or woman in their fortys and fifties. My mom even liked the book. For anyone of any ages who wants to learn about an amazing ship story, I recomend you read the book 29 Missing by Andrew Kantar.
