Michael Crichton Action & Adventure Novels Editorial Review
The Great Train Robbery by Michael Crichton is a historical novel based on a true event from mid-19th century London. The book tells the story of Pierce, the mastermind behind the robbery, who is a contemptible blackguard but is admirable for his daring and intelligent cunning. The Prose is straightforward and competent, and the author manages fairly well as a historian, offering biting social critiques, putting events in their proper historical context and filling modern audiences in on the necessary background. Victorian cutting-edge technology is showcased in all its glory within the context of the novel's plot, which mainly serves to explain society and technology of the era. The book is described as one of Crichton's best, exploiting the technology of the time, including modern trains, safes, and prisons. Customers enjoyed learning about the time period and the social history of that time. Some readers felt there was an issue with the amount of criminal argot and would have preferred a glossary for those terms not explained by the author or the context. The language was described as colorful, the narrative was well-paced, and the author painted a vivid picture of mid-18th century London.
