The Girl on the Train

I didn't like this book at all. Firstly, because of the protagonist, Rachel, who was a weak character. That in itself was a huge put off. Her rival, Anna, was equally unlikeable. But while there was reason for any reader to dislike Anna because of the role she plays in Rachel's life, I found it really hard to sympathise with Rachel (regardless of how the story unraveled to show her treatment).
In crime mysteries when the actual perpetrator of a crime is revealed it's usually a big moment and something that's supposed to shock and surprise the readers. For me that point in the book wasn't exciting at all. I did not feel any surprise which is another reason why this book failed to impress me. The story was a drag in a lot of places and I just couldn't wait to finish this book, not because I was excited to know what's next but because I just wanted to get it off my to-read list.
Over all a very average book, only to be read when you have no better alternative.
