If I hated "Gone Girl" am I going to hate "The Girl on the Train"? Obviously not looking for someone with a crystal ball, just informed (like you've read both books and "they're not really that much alike") opinions.

The characters are depressing, the story is slow moving, and there is no roller coaster ride of emotions like "Gone Girl". I don't even like that they compare this book to that book... they aren't similar (in my opinion), and each one should stand for itself. I truly had a love/hate relationship with Gone Girl and in the end I thought it was well written and really captured my interest and made me think about things. TGotT is just sad and depressing and you keep reading it only to find out what all of the hype is about to get to the end to think... "wow... that's it?!"
