Review of 'Strangers on a Train' on 'Goodreads'

No rating

I really thought I’d love this, but I had the same struggle I had with The Talented Mr. Ripley. There’s a lot of tedium and even logistical details in between the more interesting bits, so it gets bogged down despite already being short. I did finish Ripley and enjoy it in the end, but I’m finding this one harder to push through.

Narrator of the audiobook does an excellent job, though! Felt like I was listening to Cary Grant.
