Review # 1 was written on 2007-09-10 00:00:00 Lisa Pasqu First of all: did she have to make the wierdo a Mormon? Are they just too trendy? I am a Mormon, and I was bothered by that whole angle. What purpose did it serve, really? Just to show that some Mormons are wierd religious fanatics. Well, so are some Catholics, some Baptists, some Adventists. But you knew if Fremont was crossing the country on a train, it would have to run into trouble in Utah, and rather than get rescued by a normal, average Mormon family it had to be the fundamentalist self-styled prophet who claimed she had been sent by an angel to be his fifth wife. OK, got that out of my system. All that aside, I was still disappointed by the book. Like another reviewer said, the bad guy was sort of tacked on at the end. There was no hint that he was even around. Where did he come from? I liked bringing Mei Ling back. That whole spiritual angle could have been played up a little better. Overall, a disappointment. I read the next one, Beacon Street Mourning, and it was better, although still not as good as the first two in the series, which were really outstanding.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-09-03 00:00:00 Ryan Hudspeth Dianne Day is masterful in creating romance around mystery. What Michael doesn't know is that Freemont has been kidnapped by a Mormon fundamentalist who has decided to make her one of his many wives. Michael enlists the help of Freemont's best friend, Maylene, to help him find her. While Michael and Maylene search for Freemont, she focuses on the one wife, a fourteen year old who doesn't look pleased to be there, to help her escape. Death Train To Boston is a great read. Annie Fields tells this story with passion making readers identify with and care about each character.
