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.
Victoria Lank To me, the main difference between Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train was that in The Girl on the Train, some of the characters are more sympathetic …moreTo me, the main difference between Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train was that in The Girl on the Train, some of the characters are more sympathetic (as others have stated).

Although I hated Anna in Train, I sympathized with Rachel and somewhat with Megan. In Gone Girl, I found both main characters despicable.

Also, I found Train less vulgar (or graphic?) than Gone Girl. I don't know if anyone else knows what I mean, but that's just my opinion.(less)
