The Great Train Robbery

Michael Crichton

Now this was GREAT fun! What a spectacular job of robbing a train, especially considering it happened in the mid 1800's. Wow. Michael Creighton (sp?) took court notes (I'm guessing he had access to that, or maybe just the newspaper reports at the time) and turned it into a rollicking, suspenseful ride. Amazing how you can find yourself cheering on the bad guys. This was the abridged book-on-tape, but I didn't feel like I missed anything. Anyone seen the movie? I'm looking for that next.
