I've read reviews in which people say that they hated all the characters and had no sympathy for any of them. I don't get that. Rachael and Meghan are totally sympathetic in my opinion. That Anna though can go kick rocks.I listened to the audiobook version. The narrator was perfect. I didn't ev...

This book left when I thought we were going right, and right when I thought we were going left! Definitely a book that keeps you on your toes and guessing. I wasn't ready for the ending, because I didn't see any of it coming. Nothing like Gone Girl, even though people keep comparing the two. Yes, t...

When "Girl On the Train" was released, it was touted as the "New 'Gone Girl.'" I suppose there are a minimum number of similarities, and marketers need to market. But strangely enough, my reaction to "Girl On the Train" was the reaction many of my friends had to "Gone Girl": I didn't like it because...

Highly forgettable. Another example, for me, where I have a disconnect with what the rest of the world thinks is of best seller quality and it turns out to be mostly a mediocre piece of work. (This audible version is very well read and the narrators are fantastic, it's the mediocre story that disapp...

3.5 Starts like a "unreliable narrators: women are crazy, men are stupid" thing.Then, it is "men are way crazier, women are stupid and nuts".A cheater is always a cheater. A liar is always a liar.Only the other way around.

2.5/5 stars. Writing was compelling, characters were not. Ever. At all. It would have been a much better book with at least one character to root for. The MC was so hung up over A MAN. As were the other two secondary female characters. For the thousandth time, can women please not be defined by the ...

Everyone and their brother seems to have read this one, so I thought it was time I gave into peer pressure and gave it a go. I enjoyed this one for the most part. I wasn't as blown away as I expected to be with all the hype surrounding it. It kept me guessing until the end though. There were a coupl...

I listened to the audio of this one and it was very well done. Clare Corbett, Louise Brealey & India Fisher really nailed their respective characters and managed to keep the pacing and cadence of the story flowing smoothly. Reminded me a little of a Koch-esque type story with a wee hint of Flynn in...
