The girl on the train - Paula Hawkins

[PresidentTwonk]

Has anyone read this? I was awake until 4am because I was so gripped by it! It's brilliant!

No but had been thinking of getting it. Thanks for the recommendation.

I have just started it! I feel a late night coming on

Really want to read this but can't afford to buy it - hopefully my library copy will be ready next week. I read today it's sold over 4,000 copies since it was published in the U.K just over a week ago - good for a hardback, even better for a debut author (though she's written books before under a pseudonym).

Please come back when you've read it and we can discuss I don't know anyone IRL who has read it!

Oh I nearly bought this today, will look at ordering it now.

I got it in the week, not started yet as I'm finishing off something else, can't wait now hope it's good

Yes I have read itLoved it. It was a real page-turner wasn't it?

I'm still going!! Can't put it down. Can somebody come and iron the school uniforms please?!

Half the way through this now.

Definitely a page turner! I kept thinking 'one more chapter' then I reached the end of the chapter and thought it again! It's amazing how just telling the 'morning' and 'evening' of someone's life can tell such a big story! It was so gripping and the end wasn't a let down which I was relieved about!

Had me totally hooked. Did not disappoint!

Am reading it

Just bought it (for my Kindle) on the strength of this thread - am off to bed with it now!

I hope you like it Furry!

It's the best book I've read in ages! If anyone has recommendations for similar books, I'd appreciate them (my sleep pattern won't though )

About to start it

Is this the book they were talking about on the Simon Mayo show yesterday afternoon? Sounds great.

I'm halfway through it on an audiobook at the moment. It is intriguing, but I don't like any of the characters very much yet.

Read it overnight- and I loved it! Thanks so much for the recommendation- just wish it had been longer!

Just finished it and loved it, long time since I read a book in one go.

I've just started it. So far a very easy read.

It is on the list........... looks really good.

what other books did she write under another name?

She wrote the books here under the name Amy Silver.

Oh it's brilliant President - didn't want it to end, gripping and unputdownable.

I've just seen a tweet with a list of books in the vein of, 'If you liked The Girl On The Train then you'll like this.'

Will try to find the link ...

Et voila!

From that list, love Tana French and have heard good things about Elizabeth Is Missing. Just started I Let You Go by Clare Macintosh which gets good reviews. Will report back.

It's brilliant isn't it! I keep recommending it to everyone! Thank you for that list!!
