The Christmas Train by David BaldacciMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
The Christmas Train is a short cute story about Tom, a journalist, taking an Amtrak train across country to meet up with his current girlfriend to spend the Christmas holidays skiing in Tahoe. Tom is still reeling from a previous breakup and a hard life as a journalist covering wartorn countries and risking himself for an award-winning story. His idea is to take the train to write a fluff piece on his way to meet his girl. He meets a cast of strange characters, gets in the middle of a string of thefts, an impromptu marriage, a chance encounter with the woman who broke his heart and an avalanche that no one may live through.
This was a quick read that had a little of everything: mystery, romance, Christmas feel-good stories and a reminder that Christmas and life, in general, is what you make of it and that family is sometimes the people that you choose to be with.
