The Girl on the Train

Here we have proof of why I stay away from super-hyped books...

Original Review: This is the story of a bunch of batshit crazy, selfish, whiny, weak women with interchangeable voices that you just really don't like at all by the end. I will admit that I read this very quickly because I wanted to find out who the killer was, but I was able to guess that pretty early on. So then it just turned into me wanting to know if I was right. I WAS!!!!

I can't say I hated this book, but I can say that there's really not much I liked about it. The timeline is insanely confusing, the characters are all blah - I mean I don't have a problem with liking characters whose actions/motives I don't agree with, but everyone in this book is just extremely annoying.

A couple days later after further contemplation: Last night, I explained this book in detail to my husband, and saying everything out loud made me realize how bad this book really is and how much I truly hated this book... so I take it back. I do hate this book. I honestly don't give one star ratings often. I have to really passionately dislike a book.. it's like that.

This book is so convoluted, and in general none of the characters are likeable or well developed, not even the men. Also, there are some plot holes.. or maybe just holes in Rachel's crazy thinking. Like how she always saw a sinister smile on everyone's face, and the story never followed through with why that was. Because obviously all of the suspects aren't the killer, so what was it that she saw in them?
