"I was seeing "The Girl on the Train" everywhere and it got my interest, so I downloaded the book. At the same time a good friend of mine told me that he read the book and was disappointed. I generally like what he likes so I thought to myself, well, that was a waste of money.
At first I had a hard-time following what was going on but then I got it. This was a fantastic read that got better and better when the author added in the missing pieces. I highly recommed this book."
