Stupid question: why do people compare Girl on the Train with Gone Girl?

They are both books with twists involving not so innocent women.

Still the series that I enjoyed the most that includes an "in your face" woman is Steig Larsson's "Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" series. Unfortunately, Larsson passed away, but someone (David Lagercrantz, The Girl In the Spider Web) is trying to continue the series. I just bought that new book and I'll see if it stands up to the original quality. I sure hope so. Anyone else like these books? If you haven't read them, you're really missing something good.

I enjoyed the Swedish books and movies. The US remake of the first one was just OK.

Unfortunately the new author is not as good as Larsen. And I heard that Larsens translator refused to do the translation on this one.

If you liked Gone Girl, read The Silent Wife by A.E. Harrison. Even better than Gone Girl.

I just finished it and I liked it. After these recommendations, looks like my next book will be Gone Girl. Thanks!

I just finished this book, and it certainly held my interest. :read:
I think the book is well written, but what a bunch of dysfunctional characters!

I feel the same way about Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train. I will have to check out On Folly's Beach…thanks.


Have you read The Sound of Glass? That is also a good one.
