The Christmas Train, David Baldacci

The Christmas Train by David Baldacci is an interesting book about the journey of journalist Tom Langdon from Washington D.C. to L.A during Christmas. Since Tom has to take two trains to reach LA, The author has interestingly divided the book in two section, thus each section covers both train ride.

Tom decides to celebrate Christmas with his girl friend but since he has been from flying he is left with no option bu to take the train route. During the travel he meets some very interesting characters like a bartender, a retired priest, a young couple and his ex-girlfriend as well.

Book catches interest slowly and slowly. I must say that the first half is a little bit slow more like introduction of the characters an the second half is exciting.
