Pat C. asked this question about The Girl on the Train:
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.

For those saying they did not like Girl on The Train because the characters were so unlikeable my response would be, "And the characters in Gone Girl weren't?" I did not care for Gone Girl but I do admit the twist was devine. Train was okay. I don't think I loved it as much as others but I do admit I wanted to know what happened so it kept me reading. I read it in one day. I kept changing my guess a million times. Yes, Rachel is a very unlikeable, weak girl that made me cringe. I kept yelling at her to get a grip when I was reading the book. However, isn't that a great character build by the author if she can make one do that? We have all done stupid things in the name of love and if Ms. Hawkins can make me that mad over a make believe person I have to add a star and pick up her next book for sure. Rachel is a horrible bad role model for woman for sure. However, with that said, even for a strong woman you never know huh?(less)
