Thriller #6 - The Girl on the Train

When I decided to do a countdown of some of my favorite thriller/suspense novels, The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins, was one that immediately jumped into my mind! This is going to be more of a recommendation, rather than a review, because I don't want to give a single thing away.

So, you may like this book if:

✔ you like a good page turner
✔ you are or you sympathize with super nosy people
✔ you like when the plot is unpredictable
✔ you like a good twist (or two)
✔ you are willing to stay up late to finish the book, because you won't be able to sleep otherwise

If the above list sounds like a fun romp, you're going to need to get your hands on a copy of this book! Disclaimer: apparently there is a movie, and no, I have not seen it. If you have, comment below! What was better? The book or the movie?

I read this book a couple years ago, so I don't remember many of the details, but what I do remember was the SUSPENSE I felt reading it and vaguely remember talking out loud to the main character, trying to tell her, "No! Stop! Ah!"

Have you already read this one? If so, tell me your thoughts. If not, go read it! Don't forget to stop by next Thursday for my next Thriller recommendation!

It is a story of overcoming one's trials and pushing through to achieve what shouldn't have been possible. Reviewing a memoir is difficult, because while there are parts of the story you may dislike, you can't fault them for being what happened to the best of the author's memory. This book was extremely well written. It is clear that the author is well read and well educated in the way she presents the story. There were times, though, where she was quoting her mother or sister from emails that were written and she changed their verbiage completely to match her...
