Strangers on a Train

Enjoyed this even more than I thought I would–felt very much like what would have happened if Camus had written murder mysteries. A little bogged down plot-wise in the middle, but more than made up for by the fun language and perspectives on human nature.

3.5

Did not know this was originally written in 1900s.
A good engaging story with twists at the right points.
The narration did feel a bit monotonous at the start, but picked up as the story progressed.
Premise of the book was new, and interesting. The execution, not so much. No pun intended.

It amazes me how different relationships are now compared to in the past, but romantic and platonic. I enjoyed the action of this book, but was not too thrilled about the mental deterioration. Its important to life, yet rather boring to read.
