The Great Train Robbery by Michael Crichton
5.0
Michael Crighton's works are hit or miss for me. Jurassic Park remains my favorite of his. However, "The Great Train Robbery" is easily the best writing of his I've come across. It's a re-telling of an actual train robbery in England.
To put it simply, I felt like I was living there, and part of the unfolding events. It reads like an unbelievable, Hollywood-concocted story. I've never read anything like it! I love historical fiction, but this just takes the cake, because it's actual, historical FACT, written in a fiction style.
It's incredible.
