The misunderstanding regarding the purchase of this used book was dealt with professionally and to my complete satisfaction. Sheryl

If you want to take a great trip without buying a ticket or resorting to mind altering drugs, read this book. It combines wit and intelligence with romance and adventure. David Baldacci's research into train travel provides an avenue for sprinklings of interesting information to appear throughout the book enabling the reader to learn without effort - almost like osmosis. This book more than fulfilled my requirements for a well written book - it placed characters who became real to me and that I cared about within a storyline that I thought about long after I'd finished the book.

I loved this book. I bought six and gave it to all my girl friends for Christmas. It was a nice gift that you didn't have to dust or find room for.

My book club chose this as our December book to read. When I started it I wasn't too thrilled...kinda slow reading. But, once past page 100 it got so much better. The ending is nothing like you imagine.

Stick with it...It's so worth it!!

David Baldacci paints a wonderful portrait of train travel during the holidays and all of the fantastic and crazy characters that ride the rails. A true, heartwarming Christmas classic.
