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.

I gave up on Gone Girl and now am slogging through Girl on the Train. It seems I really do need to Like Somebody in a book that I am going to devote some hours/days to. Definitely no one to like in Girl on the Train, but I am a little curious how it ends and want to finish so I can move on to the next (hopefully better) book. I guess Psychological Thriller is just not my genre tho I Loved the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo books and keep hoping that level of intensity will come again for me. There was someone to cheer for and that seems to make all the difference for me.(less)
