The Girl on the Train

I don't even know if I expected more of this book, but the thing is... it felt lacking to me. The pace was slow and sometimes the chapters were just plain boring, I only started being intrigued towards the end.
I didn't find it predictable, I couldn't guess the final outcome until all the clues were laid in front of me, and yes, I was kind of surprised, but it wasn't mind blowing, it was more like: "Oh... really?"
Also, the characters were hateful. AND I KNOW I wasn't supposed to sympathize with them, but I didn't even find them interesting, I wasn't rooting for anyone, I didn't care about what happened to any of them.
I enjoyed the book, don't get me wrong. It just disappointed me a little. There were some things I liked, but I can't even remember them... I was about to lower my rating to 2 stars, but something inside me keeps telling me this deserves better, so 3 stars it is!

Para mi fue un poco decepcionante, por todo el revuelo mundial que tiene esperaba más. :s
Que pena que no te termino de convencer. A mi me encanto, y engancho como no tienes idea :D

XD la verdad yo entiendo las razones de la gente que no lo vio como algo super genial. Es solo que para mi eso mismo jugo a su favor :)
A mi me gustó mucho, pero como dijeron en el ho, no sé si tenía que tomarle importancia a la ropa que estaba al lado de las vía del tren
Me da gusto ver que no fui la unica a la que no le gustó, sobre todo porque hay tanto "hype" con este libro. En verdad los personajes son odiosos!!! creo que la narrativa no fue mala pero no sorprende nada.Espero ver pronto en tu canal al menos ub wrap up donde icluyas tu opinion de este libro ;)
Ese fue uno de los más grandes problemas con este libro, todos los personajes eran terribles. No había a quien irle!
Opino lo mismo, bueno es mi lectura actual, y la verdad es que no me está enganchando mucho. Está bien pero, sinceramente, tanto revuelo que han hecho sobre el libro lo encuentro exagerado.Y lo de los personajes pienso también lo mismo, ahora mismo los odio. A Rachel la encuentro muy repetitiva, me está cansando y no me cae nada bien. Como bien has dicho, tampoco pretendía que me encantarán pero es que los encuentro odiosos.
En si la historia es interesante pero al tener estos problemas hace que no disfrute de la lectura.
I'd have to agree with you on how slow the plot was. I was dreading reading it, but I pushed through until the end, which is when I was intrigued. Sadly I feel the ending fell short. It was so BORING, PREDICTABLE, UNORIGINAL and PLAIN! I wish there was more to the ending, something better. I also hated how it was in the middle of the action then jumped to the aftermath of the actions. I'd rather read all the action and intensity then jump to the end and become extremely confused. It was an excellent thriller and kept me hooked, I'll give it that much.
i felt like something was missing too. and i too was torn between a 2 and 3 star rating lol
