The Girl on the Train

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.

Listened to this on audiobook. Kept me entertained and wanted to know what happened next. Honestly, none of the characters are very likable because of how screwed up they are, but it felt real and raw in that way. It does put you in the mindset of someone struggling with alcohol abuse, so it could be triggering for some people. The twist was both predictable and surprising in some ways.

Difficult at the beginning to figure out the writers style. Once you figured it out it was easier to follow the plot

Couldn’t finish, what an awful book with terrible writing and boring one dimensional characters. And I guessed the ending/villain not even half way through the book. Good thing I didn’t pay for this garbage (returned it to the library though I wish I could just burn it so no one else have to read it 😂).

Excellent book. Even though I'd been planning on making it my next book to read casually, I couldn't put it down, and finished it in 24 hours.

Many of the characters are unlikeable, but that only makes the book better in some ways. I loved the POV writing, I loved the skipping in time, I loved the unfolding of the truth. Some books bother me when they keep the truth as a prize you get in the end, but because the main character is only figuring out the truth as the story goes on, it works well here.
