One Of Those 'Girl' Books

Reaching the conclusion of 'The Girl On The Train' on audiobook. The story itself is engaging, building slowly and exploding at the end (insert comparison to Gone Girl here, yadda, yadda). It's a good, quick thriller, with characters that are COMPLETELY unlikeable, which is fun.

Seriously, everyone in this book kind of sucks.

It's not earth-shattering, really, not as amazing as so many say, but I wouldn't not read it. The hype probably made it a little lackluster in comparison, which seems to be what happens when most things are so hyped up.

Suggestion..if you want to check this out and you haven't yet, listen to the audiobook on your phone with earbuds in, as you push your crying baby in a stroller back home. Because the earbuds let you hear the book without disturbing anyone else. And hearing the baby.

No, but for real, the audiobook cast is really good.

Apparently, the word 'Girl' in a title of a book makes a book sell. 

The Girl on the Train with the Dragon Tattoo who is Gone Who Wore Pearl Earrings and Loved Tom Gordon

Next best seller, friends.
