The Girl on the Train: A Book Review

Tweet

I am sure everyone has heard about this book, The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins. I think it is the most talked about book of 2016. As you can see by the cover, it's got a couple of "pick" stickers, meaning it is highly recommended. I was determined to finish this book before the movie came out. I finished it the day the movie came out. Even though I know the movie is different, I am looking forward to seeing it... just not sure when. As for the book, I thought the writing format was good. It made the story easier to follow. The chapters are broken down by the three lead female characters speaking in first person on their perspective. The story was well written and I didn't see the end to be what it was. The author did a great job of making it difficult to figure out "who dunnit". It's an easy story to wrap your head around. As far as sex and swearing I would say it is pretty tame. You may be able to tell from the picture that the book is quite weathered. My daughter got it from her boyfriend's mother. I don't know where she got it from. I gave this book 5 stars. Read it!
