Clunking and disappointing.

Reasonable storyline, but not deftly written. Melodramatic and disjointed. Was disappointed at amateurish feeling overall.

This is probably not the book you're looking for!

Would you try another book written by A. J. Waines or narrated by Melissa Chambers?

Before answering the question I'd like to make other Audible listeners aware that this is not the book that has been made into a film. That would be 'The Girl on The Train'. 'The' not 'A'! I feel a bit silly for having made that mistake myself and don't want other people to waste their money.
Right, back to the review. I'll be as kind as possible even though I feel a little bit duped. Is this book deliberately trying to ride on the back of the other book's success? I mean, look at the similarity between the images used. Sorry, off track again. Track. That's a train pun. This is turning out to be the worst review I've ever written but it's a work of literary genius compared with A. J. Waines offering 'Girl on A Train'. So, no, I won't be trying another book by the same author. The narrator, however, was actually pretty good. Only one of her accents made me giggle a little bit every time the characters came up. If you've listened to this book you can have a guess at which one. I could listen to her again I guess. She didn't make me want to bang my head against the wall. Not like one I listened to earlier whose voice got a bit spitty. I hate hearing other people's saliva. Melissa Chambers - non-spitty voice - ok with me.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

Most interesting: Ellie's clues.
Least interesting: The main character's best friend's love life. Didn't care. Wasn't sure how it added to the story.

Did Melissa Chambers do a good job differentiating each of the characters? How?

Yes she was fine, except for one as mentioned earlier.

Was Girl on a Train worth the listening time?

Hmm, difficult one. Actually, I did enjoy the story as just that. A story. You could write down the main events of the book in a bullet point list and I would enjoy it just the same! The author's writing style lacks... well... style. The sentences convey the plot but aren't constructed to add anything atmospheric or clever. It's a good yarn but it's not a thing of beauty. In places it sounds like it has been written by a 14 year old girl.

Any additional comments?

Just in case you missed it at the beginning, this is not the book that has been made into a film. If you were looking for the genuine article, search for 'The Girl on The Train'.

I said I was going to be kind. I don't think I managed that, sorry. Honesty is always best though...

Terrible narration

A really good book totally spoiled by awful narration. The narrator seemed to be in a rush which did not do the book justice

Girl on a Train

I really don't k now what all the hype was about. I stuck with it but feel I could have been enjoying something else more. Thank goodness for Audio. At least I was doing other things whilst listening.
