I just read Girl On The Train. Freaky! Anyone read it? Rachel, Megan, Scott, Tom.

I couldn't put it down. So much dysfunction!

1. It was a great read.

I also couldn't put it down. There was so much sadness and loneliness, but the writing made every page beautiful.

2. A nice, twisty mystery. I enjoyed it.

3. Loved it. Really liked how it was written. Then I saw the movie, which follows

the book closely. There was a guy behind me who just about went nuts at the end of the film, saying he never saw it coming. I said, "I guess you.didm't read the book."

4. I couldn't put it down either......nt

5. This was one of those rare times that I liked the movie better than the book.

However, both were excellent!

6. I read it.

It had a lot more energy than the movie, though the movie was okay.

7. Didn't see the film. With so few characters and basically one street

I assume it doesn't really need to be on screen. We know what London and it's burbs look like, we can imagine the characters and the train images. I enjoyed shifting between the voices when I went back to read only Megan. Reading it also allowed Tom to remain enshrined by Rachel's attachment until the end.

I enjoyed hearing poor Rachel's thoughts while drunk. Wow.

8. My book club loved it.

9. I enjoyed it

I liked the voyeuristic aspect of the train, or maybe I missed the whole thing. Anyways, the author has another book out now.

10. a very entertaining read

I agree with others though, it did not translate well into a movie

11. I couldn't put it down but really got tired of a main character who was always drunk

[Callalily]

12. I saw the movie, which definitely

was a good story. I recently read Paula Hawkins' "Into the Water", which again proved to be a good story.

It's not often one finds a book with a good storyline, that keeps one in suspense and is well written (grammar, punctuation, etc.)

13. The book was overly crude when it didn't need to be...

I'm not particularly prudish but it it was over the top in an unnecessary way. The movie did not use those parts and it was a much better focus on the story itself. Of course the book went into much more of each person's background which made that more interesting than the movie. It's a good story.
