The Girl on the Train

I believe this is a 3.5. This book has been compared with Gillian Flynn's Gone Girl but I think the only thing they have in common as novels is the unreliable narrator. The character's lives are clique gender roles. None of the characters are likable. Everyone is dysfunctional in some extreme way. The story dragged in some areas and just made the reader want to skip to the end. Also, that could be because key information is withheld until the end of the novel and the suspense element was working it magic. The author uses great elements of suspense to tug the reader in and hook them. I would still recommend this book to other readers. I could see it making an excellent Hitchcock style film.
