"Girl on a Train" was totally not what I expected it to be, but I really enjoyed reading it. It turned out to be a little along the lines of "The Rear Window" with a lot of the same undertones as "Gone Girl." Ultimately, it ended up to be about marriages gone wrong, and how lies and deception can lead to the unthinkable. While I didn't find any of the characters to be likable, it was very well-written and engaging, this is a good book if you like reading psychological thrillers or crime novels.

This was a good read - especially thre second half of the book. It has been compared to Gone Girl, but I much prefered GG over this one. This one's ending wasn't a shock like the other was.

A story that shows that all things are just a few degrees separated.
I could not put it down!
2015's "this year's Gone Girl" isn't terrible, but it's not that great, either. Plot twists were fairly predictable whereas her characters bounced all over the place. Here's hoping that 2016's version of "Gone Girl" will be better.

Interesting not just whodunit but whathappened. Definitely keeps you guessing from the beginning to the end. I recommend for a quick engaging read.
