The Girl on the train -Personal book review 


“The girl on the train “by Paula Hawkins is , what S J Watson terms as ‘gripping ,enthralling -A top notch thriller and a compulsive read ,no wonder dream works is in talks to adapt the book into a movie .

The sub head -You don’t know her .But she knows you .You immediately want to grab the book to know the story .The story about Rachel who catches the same commuter train every Morning.She know it will wait at the same signal each time ,overlooking a row of back gardens .She even started to feel like she knows the people who live in one of the houses .Jess Jason she calls them the characters on who the story revolves .Their life according to her is perfect.

And then one day she sees something shocking .Its only a minute until the train moves on .But it’s enough .

Now everything has changed .Now Rachel has a chance to become a part of their lives she’s only watched from far

Now they’ll see : her much more than just the girl on the train ….

The author Paula Hawkins who has worked as a journalist for fifteen years before turning her hand to fiction ,uses her journalism experience to continue the story and keep the interest of readers with some twist and turns ,there are moments you believe he might have done it ,no she has done it this continues till you haven’t read the complete story .the dairy format and narration format of giving each character his thought of the story to move forward is very interesting way of writing the book and to keep the interest going ,what the other characters think at that moment .

Grab and read the book ,before everybody has read it .

Book Review !!-Personal review .

Hi!! I just thought about trying my hand in book reviewing and here it begins with this book. Hope you enjoy it. And can honestly post your suggestion in the comments column.
Colourless Tsukuru Tazaki and his years of pilgrimage by Haruki Murakami is a story about Tuskuru Tazaki, who had four friends at school and their names symbolised colours, The two boys Akamastu meaning’ red pine ‘, Oumi ‘Blue Sea’ while the two girls were shirane ‘white root’ and Kurono ‘black field ‘, but only Tazaki whose name had no connection with colour hence the book is titled colourless Tazaki. The story moves ahead, with one day out of the blue, Tuskuru Tazaki friends announced they didn’t want to see him ever again. And abruptly ending the friendship, and since that day the thought has been troubling him Why did they cut off friendship But soon he meets Sara, Who tells him that the time has come to find out what happened and where are they all Will he be able to solve the mystery?

The writing is descriptive, describing the setting very well, the story moves very fast and you are so hooked, you don’t feel like keeping the book away and the only time you want to keep it away is once you have known the complete story. The second half of the book moves faster solving the mystery and getting closer to the climax, You must surely read the book it’s very engaging and worth a shot. The writer is a Japanese writer who is also known for his book

Kafka on the shore. And this one colourless book has been his most recent writing. The book also brings you closer in understanding how common and uncommon are names that contain colour in Japan. And not to forget you get another perspective of Japan culture.
