Mom, I don’t want to go with Uncle Nat. I want to stay with you. I don’t like trains. They’re boring.” Ik ben blij dat ik dit boek heb gevonden bij de bibliotheek want mijn hemel wat was dit een heerlijk snel boek zeg. Spannend maar ook bergen treinen (ik hou van treinen, ik weet niet alle details van treinen zoals Oom Ben of Lenny, maar ik hou van naar treinen kijken, de details zien, de verschillende manieren hoe het werkt, en meer). Ik zou echt wel mee willen gaan in de trein, want wat een droom was dat zeg, een panoramawagen, een bibliotheek (met een geheimpje), en nog veel meer. Heerlijk hoe de schrijfster, of eigenlijk Alex, ons door de trein leidt en ons steeds weer iets nieuws laat ontdekken.

In combinatie met dat de spanning steeds iets meer omhoog gaat, maakt dat het verhaal reuze leuk!Copying his uncle, Hal laid his hand on the metal casing and was surprised to find it was warm and vibrating. The locomotive sighed out a puff of steam, as if it were alive—a dragon, ancient, powerful, and ready to fly. This is such a lot of fun. I went into The Highland Falcon Thief thinking well, I am ancient and absolutely have no interest whatsoever in trains, and I came out and realised that I loved it. There is a scene, for example, where they fill up the train with water (this is a thing!) and it is pretty much one of the best scenes I have read for a long while. It's breathless, visceral and genuinely good storytelling - and one that actually made me look up steam-trains on Youtube for the first time in ever.
