"pathological lying (also called compulsive lying, pseudologia fantastica and mythomania) is a behavior of habitual or compulsive lying"
It's a train wreck, but in a good sort of way! Dysfunctional people, families, relationships, psychiatric problems, traumatic pasts, liars, cheaters, delusional personalities, addictions, abusive relationships and all on the same street just a distance from the daily commuter train track.

I would rate this book 4.5 stars. Most of the book was the kind of thriller that I didn't want to put down so I finished it quickly and found it an engrossing read.

What I liked: the structure, a page turner, good story, the writing, three different narrators, complex characters, the gradual way more info is revealed about each character. I hope Paula Hawkins writes more mysteries!

Not reviewing this but I liked it...I didn't love it...I liked it!

Not my usual choice of genre. I find these psychological thrillers too stressful for me. With that stated, I thought the book was well written and I read it for book club.
Rachel rides the train every morning and fantasizes about the lives of the people she views from the window. Megan wishes her life was different. She struggles with being faithful. Anna doesn't care that she ruined a marriage because she has a great life now if only the ex wife would leave them alone. All three voices take the ...more

Dammit, I figured it out halfway through. But it is a page turner. A good beach read.
