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.
cathy I noticed the similarity between Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train, too. I also hated Gone Girl; however, I moderately enjoyed The Girl on the Train…moreI noticed the similarity between Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train, too. I also hated Gone Girl; however, I moderately enjoyed The Girl on the Train. I suppose the biggest difference between the two books was that, for me, Gone Girl felt extremely contrived in an almost mechanistic way. Maybe this is a personal pet peeve, but I find that sort of plot manipulation highly annoying. I felt that Flynn was trying too hard - at the expense of my quality reading experience. The Girl on the Train was a bit more authentic.(less)
