When I bought it, i thought it was going to be more a book like so many others. But I was wrong.
The Girl on the Train was a success for several reasons. A story of mystery and suspense in the back of a murder that gave back to my head and the many who also followed him. They are friends and three women, the protagonists of this thriller, with problems, worries and concerns, told in the first person, as if it was a diary.
Each one developed a perspective of events that were taking place , and at the same time allow the reader to reflect on the possible implications that every word or action could have, find out more about a secret, an intimacy or a track that we could let us until the killer, as if anyone who reads was the confident and best friend of that character. All this made the drama even more intriguing and addicting, which I strongly recommend to all who enjoy stories of cut the breath!
Obviously the Hollywood industry wanted to take advantage of this literary success, translated into movie, a year after the release of the book of Paula Hawkins. The result was a confusing approach, with profiles and habits of the three women changed, important details of the book overwhelmed, which made some of the scenes and transitions not to do so. The location where the story takes place were abdicated by the film director, replacing London (in the book) by New York ( in the cinema), among other things.
In my opinion, this was a bad example of adaptation of a literary work for film. The imbalance of quality is evident, what makes me rethink if many times it is worth investing so much money for a purpose so disappointing as this...
