A review by geekdad
The Great Train Robbery by Michael Crichton

4.0

Michael Crichton flexing his story telling muscles in a historical Victorian-era Ocean’s 11 style heist story. It was a pleasure from cover to cover, although I would have liked a little more exposition at the end. Still a great ride and one that gives a large and accurate account of Victorian England that was an intriguing and immersive setting. I have read Crichton many times before and was pleasantly surprised to find an entirely new tone and vocabulary in this book that fit the British rhetoric and dialects flawlessly, written almost intendedly to be read aloud or consumed via audio book.
