There were parts that were genuinely scary, other some parts that were otherwise good - I liked how most of the ending wrapped up parts of the beginning (but I felt the actual last paragraph was really lame), but over all I did not enjoy the book.

Ugh. How did this book get so bad so fast?
It started out promising. It had a recently widowed journalist in the throes of grief is becomes wrapped up in a fantastic mystery. In 1939, a Nazi ship was found adrift at sea. A hot meal waited on the dining room tables and Jewish baby rested in the middle of the ballroom floor. Besides the baby, there were no other people. The crew and passengers were never seen again. That's a good enough beginning.
Then it all went wrong. The heroine turned out to be completely useless. The only other female character was a one-dimensional, predatory lesbian. And the ghost of the journalist's dead husband had to come save the day many times over since the heroine couldn't seem to save herself. Oh yes, and the Big Bad hunting the ship turned out to be created by a Jew. So, is all the Jew's fault. Brilliant... trainwreck.

Starts so good and so creepy, but as we learn more it gets more rote. The protagonist starts strong but immediately turns into someone who is constantly being saved in ways we don't understand until they're explained to us after the fact.
Also I set the spoiler tag because this: there's a lot of bow-chicka-bowwow, and not in a good emotionally grounded way. In a 'throbbing member' / 'pink mounds' kind of way.

Me he llevado una decepción con este libro. HacÃa tiempo que no leÃa algo tan absurdo. Es una pena, porque creo que con la trama inicial se podrÃa haber hecho un desarrollo mucho más creÃble...En fin, una vez más, me quedo con Senka, la única que se salva en este revuelto de personajes absurdos.

"Horror Express" meets "Ghost Ship", and like the train in the former, it ends up going off the rails.

Went on a cruise and wanted a book to read that had a similar theme. Okay this wasn't really that simalar but a old Nazi cruise ship seemed worth a read. It was an okay book but caught me in the right mood. I am usually not one for a horror book but it was a fun read.

Ugh. I'm not a fan of horror fiction in general, and this book didn't change that at all. Maybe it's not strictly categorized as horror, but what it reminded me of most was a slasher film.

Continuing the trend of "book types I never read", The Last Passenger is horror. Amazon told me I bought it back in 2014. Why? When I don't like horror? I have no idea.
The story was set back around World War 2. A small ship found a giant abandoned Nazi battle ship lost in an unnatural bank of fog, and since maritime law says if the ship is abandoned it belongs to the people who found it, they boarded it to check it out. Creepy things start happening (duh, unnatural fog, abandoned Nazi ship...).
It wasn't a bad story. It was mildly creepy, but not too scary (at least as far as I got), but I wasn't really interested in the story, nor did I want to stick around in case it did get scary. Stopped at 11%.

It started off really good and then it got really weird and sexual
