I could not put this book down. I started out with the audio edition and then switched to the kindle edition. Such a fast paced, couldn't wait to find out what the heck is going on but don't want it to end book. Everyone in this book is messed up! I imagine it would be a very hard read if you have a drinking problem. Paula Hawkins does such an amazing job of describing Rachel's sensations when she is drinking. Also Rachel's want and need for a drink.

I found this one strange…I have to admit, had I not been recommended it and known there was a movie made from it, I might not have finished it. Quite a journey to get where it’s going but still a unique story line!

Great read - the story is solid and suspenseful but the I didn't like any of the characters.

This was a second read and I wasn’t as into it as I was when I first read it 7 years ago. Also, potential trigger warning that was not relevant to me on the first read, but is now. There is a scenario where a child drowning is discussed in detail.

A little hard to pick up who is who in the beginning because of the use of different names but quickly becomes clear. Took me a couple of chapters to get it. Really enjoyed it. Watched film and booked the stage show tickets.
