This is my favorite Crichton’s book so far!! After Andromeda Strain and the Terminal Man disappointed me, I have been reluctant to keep reading Crichton’s books. But after finishing The Great Train Robert, I’m glad I did.

This is like the Ocean Eleven of the 19th century. I was highly engaged throughout. The plot was perfect, while the story telling method was highly engaging.

Looking forward to read more Crichton’s book in the future.
