I thought the novel The Girl on The Train was pretty dreadful as well.

Agreed. I read it, just to see what happened. It was Meh. Everyone was pretty much nuts, LOL!

I’m really starting to doubt reviews for books; it all seems so phony and staged these days.

Yes, yes. I know Publishing is a ‘machine’ but I’m more apt to take book recommendations from friends now, versus on-line.

Speaking of which...have you read anything recently that I should NOT miss? I am an avid reader with usually 2 books going at a time. :)

Right now I’m reading, ‘How The Light Gets In’ Louise Penny - the latest in her murder mysteries set in Canada, and also am re-reading, ‘A Thousand Acres’ as it’s a great depiction of ‘King Lear’ and Jane Smiley is a terrific writer, and we just went to see, ‘King Lear’ this late summer at American Players Theater.
