[QUOTE]Originally posted by Henry Kisor: [QB] Finally read the book. I basically agree with Sojourner that the "furniture" was interesting but the actual mystery went nowhere. Not one of Lehrer's better novels, I'm afraid. I am not that much of an operations expert, but I did spot the two mistakes others have referred to -- hiding in the bathroom in a roomette and a conductor on duty the whole way, ignoring the hours of service law. Neither was a huge mistake, in my opinion. The character of the conductor was very minor and it would have been easy for Lehrer to fix that in manuscript if somebody had suggested it. I did enjoy all the nostalgia for the Super Chief -- and the thread about the amorous character of Clark Gable. There were many good set-piece scenes. [/QB][/QUOTE]
