Product Description

Disillusioned journalist Tom Langdon must get from Washington to LA in time for Christmas. Forced to take the train across the country because of a slight 'misunderstanding' at airport security, he begins a journey of self-discovery and rude awakenings, mysterious goings-on and thrilling adventures, screwball escapades and holiday magic. He has no idea that the locomotives pulling him across America will actually take him into the rugged terrain of his own heart, where he will rediscover people's essential goodness and someone very special he believed he had lost. In equal parts hilarious, poignant, suspenseful and thrilling, The Christmas Train is a delightful journey filled with memorable characters who have packed their bags with as much wisdom as mischief...Part detective story, part disaster movie, part romance, this is a brilliant, heart-warming holiday tale.

Festive Fun for Christmas
I loved this book!!! It's a great read especially as Christmas is approaching. The tale has an engaging storyline, great comic episodes, and more than a scattering of the miraculous which combines to makes it an excellent weekend read. I look forward to reading more David Baldacci novels.

WOW
I would just like to say that this is one of the best books that I have ever read. If you are looking for a nice book to read on a cold winters night then this is the book for you.

Baldacci is great but this is way too nice!
The book itself is well written but it really has the All American Sugar Sweet feel about it. If you love Baldacci's thrillers this is not for you.
