Review of 'The Great Train Robbery' on 'Goodreads'

2 stars

I got to be honest, this was my third time starting this book and finally got through it. This is not strong Crichton. He continues to try to make an interesting story around this robbery, but pulls and pulls and there is never really anything there. Finally the robbery takes place and it’s a handful of pages and nothing super serious. If you love Crichton, this one is an acceptable pass.
