The Girl on the Train

- Paula Hawkins

This is an utterly boring and much over hyped book. I am giving it 2 stars just because the climax is good. I picked up the book purely out of curiosity and the hype it created. The first 100 pages are a drag and by the time you read through, you are in an alcoholic daze just like the main character Rachel. The setting is dark and gloomy and you feel like throwing the book out of the window. The next 100 pages becomes a bit interesting. By the time you reach 250th page (if you have not thrown out the book by then), you know who the killer is. The last 65 pages you want to know how and why he killed her. The only saving grace is, the book is short and only 315 pages. Phew what a collosal waste of time and bit of money !


Verdict - Avoidable !! Dare you to complete if you have already started reading !
