A review by charliebluewolf
The Great Train Robbery by Michael Crichton

4.0

This was a really fun read! I love a good heist story, and that is exactly what this book is about. And it is based on a real event which makes it even better in my opinion. One tricky thing I encountered when reading this book, is that it uses some slang terminology that I have never heard of before (This isn't really a surprise since the book was written in 1975 and takes place in the 1850s). But that was not a big deal as it explained the important words, and the others you could either figure out from context or they were relatively irrelevant.
