4.0 out of 5 stars
Outstanding writing and style overcome a stock plot.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Green Train (Paperback)
In this wonderfully written old novel, western tourists are held hostage by Soviet troops for political reasons in a train heading back to Finland. This sounds like the "airliner captured by terrorist" plot that has become so familiar to readers and moviegoers. Not so! The writing is just an absolute delight, with human characterization that is unexpectedly outstanding. The outcome is not the usual "hidden hero among hostages overcomes the terrorists." Read this book. For a cuppla bucks for an old, out-of-print paperback, you'll be pleased. I am ordering his other books through Amazon.

Great Characters,

This review is from: The Green Train (Paperback)
This is a fun book. I though it was going to turn out a bit differently. There is a very well done escape part of the story where a character needs to run for a period of 10 miles, when I used to run I would think of some of the comments made by the characters. Corny - maybe but the writing really made the people like your friends and family. I think this is the strength of the book, you really get to know both people on each side - it is just not the stock American and the big bad east block grunting guard. The book is a good find and will keep your interest.
