Welcome to Week 1 of the Online Book Club discussion of The Christmas Train by David Baldacci.
The Online Book Club, if you've never joined us before, is a book discussion group that takes place entirely online. Each week, I write a new blog post that talks about different aspects of the book, and you can interact directly with me and other readers by leaving your comments. Check back each week and see what new topics we're talking about.
The Christmas Train tells the story of Tom Langdon, a journalist, who is forced to travel across the country by train after he is banned from commercial flight. While on the train, he meets a lot of interesting characters and is even reunited with an old flame. As the journey progresses, Tom confronts his past and changes the course of his future through his interactions with those he meets on the rails.
If you want to follow along with us but you aren't interested in reading the book, you can always watch the movie version starring Dermot Mulroney. Check out the trailer above if you want to get a feel for the how the story plays out on screen. Feel free to still leave comments on the blog posts, even if you're only watching the movie and not reading the book.
We're reading the first 11 chapters for next week, so make sure to read those before coming back next week for the next blog post!
