I drove because I just love driving the new car.

"Girl on the Train" has had very mediocre reviews from the critics and one wonders whether they saw the same film. I read the book over a year ago because Jane recommended it after her brother had sent it to her. There is a small issue because the storyline moves backwards and forwards through time but this is dealt with really well in the film and provided one concentrates it doesn't cause a problem. The characters are well cast and despite the book taking place in the UK and the film in the USA it works well. Be prepared for none of the characters being likeable and you cannot associate with any of them. All the men are bastards and all the women appear to be flawed or psychologically damaged.

I enjoyed the film and recommend it to anyone who enjoys psychological thrillers. The whole evening was wonderfully rounded off with dinner at <a href="http://www.mustardseedrestaurant.co.uk/" target="_blank">The Mustard Seed</a>. The food is superb; the atmosphere is lively and friendly.
