The storyline is pretty mediocre, but it is a retelling of a real-life incident, so I will cut some slack for them there. However, the chapters about Anthony saved the book. It is pretty much 3.0 read without them.
Certainly an inspiring tale.

📚 Book Review: "The 15:17 To Paris" 🚂
Just finished reading "The 15:17 To Paris" and I have mixed feelings about it. 🤔 While the novel was interesting, the way it was laid out was a bit off-putting. The constant jumping from past, present, and future was quite dizzying. 🎢 It made it challenging to follow the timeline of events.
Another aspect that left me puzzled was the decision to tell the story from a third-person point of view, considering it's the author's own experience. 🤷♀️ I would have loved to have a more personal connection with the characters and their emotions.
Overall, it was an intriguing read, but the unconventional storytelling style took away from the impact of the story. 📖✨

I've read other people's reviews of this book, and I am in agreement with those who say the story is interesting but the way it's told is frustrating. Chopping and changing between past and present, the story of the attack is never actually documented in full
This book was ok. The story was interesting but the way it was presented in the book was very disjointed. Some parts were hard to follow.
I didn’t like the structure of the book but found the individual accounts interesting along with the background of the terrorist.
When I bought this book, I expected Spencer, Alek, and Anthony to share their individual perspectives, in first person, on what happened on the train and what happened before and after. However, I was slightly disappointed when I started reading and their perspectives were told in third person. With this, I felt that I was being robbed of the full story because it wasn’t coming directly from them. I did enjoy this book and each account of their lives growing up and how they came back together on their trip, but I also thought the addition of Ayoub’s upbringing was important, but also kind of unnecessary.
