The intriguing characters and truly shocking revelations make this book a must read. It actually made me yearn to ride a train cross-country. I could not have loved this book more. Absolutely spectacular. ( )Journalist Tom Langdon decides to take an Amtrek train from D.C. to Los Angeles for Christmas to meet up with his current love interest Leila. He's been banned from the airlines and thinks that this will be an opportunity to write the train travel story Mark Twain never wrote. There's mystery (train thief aboard) and love (a couple aboard getting married; his old girl friend is also aboard) in the plot. Somehow I got the feeling that this was a "quick write" that had not been scrutinized in its editing process as most books would be. There are places where the story gets bogged down and other places where you wish more detail were provided. Sweet Christmas story ... as a train is traveling. A definite feel good book. The Christmas Train is a book about Love and unity. The train is full of many stories all designed to create a beautiful dream. The main character went on the train in honor of his father. The meeting of his old flame put zeal into the story. David B.'s The Christmas Train is a great write. It is such a page turner. I enjoyed the speed and the how interesting each character's story is displayed. The book is a great Christmas story. A story of friendship, family and love. I have never read anything by Baldacci before, and was recommended this title by my boyfriend who reads Baldacci religiously. While I did enjoy the story line, it took quite some time for him to actually get to the point. The dialogue was pretty dull and it took way too long to get to the point. no reviews | add a review
