If
you love reading psychological thrillers , then you have must heard
of the best book of 2016 under this category i.e.‘ The Girl on the
Train’ by Paula Hawkins. Still if you have not gone through it,
know from Angelica Urbas why is it worthy to read.
The
story is written from the viewpoint of three woman- Rachel, Anne and
Megan. But you will find that it mainly centers on Rachel who is a
divorced woman. Because of her intense addiction to alcohol, Rachel
experience frequent memory lapses too. Every day, she rides on the
same train for traveling to London and visit the locality where she
used to live once with her husband. Apart from her ex-husband and his
family, Rachel observes another couple, Jason and Jess, whom she
considers as ‘perfect couple’. But, soon Rachel realized that the
life of her ‘perfect couple’ are not at all perfect after murder
of Jess whose real name is Megan and she involves directly the
investigation. As the story proceeds, Angelica Urbas states
that along with Rachel the readers start to realize some shocking
truths and see how Rachel is putting herself into more and more
complex situations.
As
per Urbas, although the book is just debut of Paula Hawkins but after
reading this, your perception about others lives will change forever.
The author described all the incidents from narration of Rachel. All
the incidents, from the very beginning to its twisted ending are put
together perfectly so that you will not get bored. Use of three
different types of characters- alcoholic and obsessed Rachel, perfect
housewife Anna and Megan who has a troubled past has made the story
unique. Finally, Angelica Urbas states that the writing style
of Hawkins is quite interesting and cinematic. But sometimes you
might find it Hitchcockian which made the book unputdownable.
