Girl on the train
 

Finally was able to get the movie from redbox......watched last nite....a few questions...if Rachael had not worked for over a year, where was she getting money to ride a train everyday among other things, like liquor.......police investigation seemed so lame....Meagan having worked as nanny for neighbor was never really pursued.....
the movie was a bit choppy at first, but then flowed better. Movies are just not what they used to be...jmho

Haven't seen the movie, but I really liked the book.

I read the book, too. Really don't remember everything about the plot, just that it wasn't what it seemed at first. I read that one and Gone Girl around the same time.

Haven't seen the movie. In the book, I recall her saying that she was coming to the end of her savings at one point, so I guess that's where she was getting the money from.


Not sure I'll watch the movie. I found the book rather depressing and now I know who did it, although I suspected him the whole time.

I tried to read the book but quit at about page 20. I am on the list at my library for the movie and am interested to see if I make it to the end.

me too read it but thought it wasn`t good

ha,i may have to read the book too. OOPs ads talkingto me. grrrrr.

I may have to read the book too. I am not a really big fan of Emily Blunt.

Divorce settlement, I believe, since he bought her out of their house. The book does explain that. Her Mom is also well off and she asks her for money later on in the book. She lives with a friend who forgives her for missing her rent as things deteriorate. I loved the book, read it very quickly. Haven't seen the movie.

Read the book, while I liked it not a favorite. Lots of her family, friends enabled her drinking by giving her $$ or free rent, etc.

I also read Gone Girl about the same time and much preferred it. If you like this type of book, check out Darling Jim, set in Ireland and lots of suspense.

I read the book or rather tried to. Too slow. Not interested in the movie.

The book is very slow to start. If you hang in there, it is really good. I highly recommend the book over the movie.

I found the book at a thrift store for 88 cents....but just couldn't get into it. And I love murder mysteries!!

I listened to this book as an audible book. I enjoyed it that way. I tried to watch the movie and IMHO it was too slow. I couldn't stick with it after about 20 minutes.

I've found that they make women way too stupid in books and movies. I am offended but then sometimes I see how women act and I can understand.

Tried to read it as it was on the top ten list for so long but didn't get too far. Didn't like it. So won't go to the movie.

I read the book because I had heard so much about it. I was very disapointed......she should be a quilter---then she wouldn't have time to be so obsessed with all that crap. talk about co-dependent.....book really turned me off......can't imagine why so many young adult women, believing in their own rights, etc, would find this book interesting. I thought it was sick.........

I started to read the book but never finished it. I thought it was depressing.

I read the book a while ago - slow to start but I was glad to stick with it. Funnily enough I started to watch the film just last night and twenty minutes in - turned it off. Too confusing and although not a favourite book - it was better than the film.

ditto----I could not choke the first chapter down. Not going to try the movie.

I loved,loved, loved both the movie and the book. I thought the movie was excellent. She had a settlement in her divorce she was living on

I started to read the book but just couldn't get into it. Maybe I should have given it more of a chance but it just didn't seem to be the book for me, anyway.

Read the book but didn't like it so no desire to see the movie.

We read the book in our book club. I liked it but I totally bought into her alcoholism so that explained a lot for me....UNTIL.....the very end. Like the last two pages. It made me angry that the women colluded to obstruct justice.

My book club is reading it now. I'm totally confused! The only time I read is in bed before I go to sleep. I have a book marker that says, "This is where I fell asleep". I think maybe I have fallen asleep too many times.

:) LOL!! I had a hard time at first with the jumping timeline and point-of-view changes, but it did eventually come together.

I would like to have the author's name and a book title of the books about seven sisters. Thanks.

thisis soooooooooo good there will be 7books

Read the book didn't enjoy it at all. In fact I don't think that I bothered finishing it. Don't know why it was highly recommended.

went to site, read blurb...apparently the girls are not true sisters, being that each has to search in different places for their history.........hmmm

no they are not sisters and there is only 6
7th is a mystery
i`ve only read first but on hold for 2 at the library

I loved Girl on a Train, after I realized there were different characters being talked about, and different timelines. Man, what a confusing mess at first! I had to start again, making mental notes as to who and when. Once I got past that barrier, I thought it was fantastic. I understand the movie is set in New York (?) not in England. That was a disappointment to me. I haven't seen the movie, nor did I see Gone Girl. The book, Gone Girl was creepy. I thought it was good, but unsettling.
They did the movie of Gone Girl in Cape Girardeau, MO, which is near me. And used local extras. Everyone was really stoked about it, and all the stars mingling around. I guess I'm too much an old grump to be star-struck, but it was fun just sitting back and watching the hub-bub. They had star-sighting reports on the local TV channel every night, haha.

Not having read the book, did not know the book is set in England? The movie is definitely New York!

Read the book, wasn't one that I would consider good. I would hope the movie was better.

I thought it was a very strange book and I also read Gone Girl around the same time. Cannot remember many details but thought it very odd at the time. Gone Girl was better.

I absolutely agree that the book was too slow; it was like trying to swim through molasses. My guess is that represented the fog/confusion that Rachels' mind was in.

Q1 - Rachel was living off savings, her friend and self pity.
Q2 - Police pegged her as a looney, and weren't entirely wrong. But even loonies are right sometimes.

The bottom line of the story was that Rachel was emotionally and physically abused by her very charismatic, sociopathic ex-husband, the effect he had on her life, her self esteem and her subsequent choices. It ended the way I thought it would - or maybe the way I hoped it would.

I don't think I will go out of my way to see the movie.

I read the book and stuck with it because a friend gave it to me to read. But I did not like any of the characters in the book. I did not find any of the people likable nor did I sympathize with anyone in the book. Made me wonder how and why anyone could write a book with no redeeming characters
The story line was ok enough to keep me reading.
