2.0 out of 5 stars Not up to his usual standard, 18 Dec 2003
This review is from: The Christmas Train (Hardcover)
David Baldacci moves away from his usual formula of tense and gripping writing to give us this slow moving story of a man travelling from one side of America across to the other in time for Christmas, doing an extraordinary amount of soul searching along the way. Another change to Davids' usual style is the introduction of a love interest with too much emphasis on the emotional aspect of the relationship.
David still produces a well written book, however I was really disappointed with the pace and the story, at times finding it hard to keep reading.
More of the usual please!

5.0 out of 5 stars An Extremely Well Written and Amusing Read, 1 Sep 2007
By J. Chippindale (Yorkshire, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Christmas Train (Hardcover)

David Baldacci attended law school at the University of Virginia, and went on to work as a trial lawyer, and later as a corporate lawyer, in Washington, D.C. He is now a full-time writer whose best selling novels include Absolute Power, Total Control, The Winner, The Simple Truth and Saving Faith. He lives in Virginia with his wife and two children.

We have all felt like telling the over zealous person on the security search to watch where they are putting their hands, search wand, or whatever they use these days . Well that is exactly what Tom Langdon, a hard-up journalist did when he blew his top at LaGuardia Airport. Consequently he got himself a flying ban throughout the U.S.

Because of the ban his only option if he wants to see his girlfriend for Christmas is to take the train to Los Angeles. Tom decides to write a story of his train journey to finance the trip and thus begins one of the most hilarious and heartwarming train rides ever. This is the story of that journey and everything that happens along the way . . .
