On a train travelling across the country, we find an interesting blend of characters experiencing love, hate, crime, magic, and incredibly dangerous weather systems.
The book is a celebration of train travel. The characters all seem to celebrate the trip instead of the destination and I would have to agree. I love taking the train instead of a plane. When I travel on a train, I am separated from the world and I can truly relax.
The pitter patter of the train on the tracks... and the muted conversations of fellow passengers make the trip interesting and comforting.
The Christmas Train is a tight and well written story. It is the perfect book to read and finish when you are snowed in for the annual winter storm or for a holiday weekend when you have little to do but put away your presents.
I honestly might pull this book back out when it gets closer to Christmas... it seems appropriate to read it when the Christmas tree is up in the other room.
