A review by thewellreadrunner
The Taking of Pelham One Two Three by John Godey

4.0

I liked this book much more than anticipated. I was checking it out in advance of this summer's movie, but I got sucked in fast. It definitely reads like an action flick and I thought the ending was perfectly unexpected. The writing is graphic and gritty but it fits the atmosphere of the novel. Definitely outside my usual genre, but I liked it! I'm interested in the movie now, because I'm sure they've changed A LOT (the book was written in the 1970's, so the technology alone is very outdated, among other things).
