Week 5-The Girl on the Train

Product Details

Suggested by: Jill and Susan

Ok, so I feel like I have come to a point in my life where I don't have time for bad books or bad wine.  I'm totally ok dumping a bottle of the latter down the drain, but I have a hard time quitting a book.  Well, I've decided to implement the 100 page rule.  If after 100 pages I'm not engaged or interested, I stop reading.  With The girl on the Train I couldn't get to page 100 fast enough.  I just could not get interested in this story.  I  kept reading and waiting for it to click and hook me.  It didn't.  I found it monotonous and dull.  I really didn't care about the characters and figured with 336 pages in the book if I wasn't captured by page 100, it probably wasn't going to happen.  So, I stopped.

If anyone reads this and would like to tell me what happens, that would be great.  If not, I think I'll be ok.
