Book Review: Girl on the Train

Girl on the Train is a suspenseful Psychological thriller that did not capture my attention fully until the last 100 pages. It is towards the end that the book really picks up and then wraps up. It has many similarities to Gone Girl, but it moves at a slower pace and I felt like the author could have cut out a lot of the unnecessary info and tangents. I also got really annoyed with the constant complaints of one of the characters. The novel was dark and depressing, sometimes too depressing and it got old after a while. I like dark story lines but this one was a bit too slow. Also, some of the grammar is a bit weird since its characters are in Europe. "So and so has got me an interview scheduled" "cheque"instead of check and a few other things as far as tense were annoying while reading this book. However, I will say, I did like the train aspect and the ending was well done. Interesting read but definitely not the best. Gone Girl is still leaps and bounds ahead of Girl on the Train.
