A review by jetangen
The Paris Express by Emma Donoghue

challenging tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated

5.0

 This is the story encompassing the riders, train employees, and a few passersby who were directly impacted by the train accident in 1895. While well researched and based in fact (as explained in the afterward) there is some degree of poetic license that makes the characters all the more real and the realities of the time quite clear. It is a relatively short book, but it grabbed my interest and I found it to be unputdownable.
