The Great Train Robbery by Michael Crichton

5.0

The perfect mix of Gangs of New York and Oceans Eleven. This Historical Fiction/Non-fiction, or Dramatized Non-fiction if you will, alongside the main storyline, is peppered with historical antidotes about life in London in the mid 1800s as well as explanations for alot of the slang of the time, much like Gangs of New York. Which is why it brought it to mind as I was reading it. A very fun and engaging read for sure.
