Barbra’s chutzpah

I loved her truths, & honesty ! The very best autobiography I’ve read because of it authenticity! She says she only remembers the bad reviews so I’d like to say something negative just so she will read and remember this review… but I can’t! There is nothing I can add to the superlatives other admirers have said, but to give accolades to her chutzpah & talent through her fears is a must. Her relentless pursuit for perfection coupled with her childlike fear that she shared on these pages is truly inspiring. What she shares on these pages has made me want to be a better person. So thank you Barbra!

The narrator was excellent! The story is one with many characters and not an “I know who did it” from the start. Entertaining

Good story, good character development, just a personal distaste for the views expressed regarding science and belief in GOD being mutually exclusive.

I should have figured that out when reading the details of the book. Hannah’s writing is exceptionally vivid & the narrator was very good. But, even though the events were probably an accurate depiction of the dustbowl, l found it extremely depressing. I kept waiting for it to get less stressful...the author made me feel like I went through it with them, a journey I didn’t enjoy taking!

The characters were well developed, excitement in places and thoroughly delightfully predictable. Narrator was very good and enjoyable. A great low country romantic story. A pleasure to hear!

Would you try another book from Paula Hawkins and/or the narrators?

No

Has The Girl on the Train turned you off from other books in this genre?

This might be a book for a recovering alcoholic as it depicts the lead character's battle with alcohol, but it certainly wasn't a cheerful uplifting story line. I couldn't finish listening to it.

Any additional comments?

VERY SLOW PACED
