The True "Winner" ?

Gone Girl:

  • #1 New York Times Bestseller for 8 weeks

Gillian Flynn #42 Overall 

The Girl on the Train:

  • #1 The Wall Street Journal's best-sellers list

Paula Hawkins #3 Overall 
4.1/ 5 Stars on Amazon (17,820 reviews) 

This information is collected from Amazon.com and from these statistics alone, it may be safe to say that Girl on the Train is certainly the more popular read- even though both books are considered in different genres. Gone Girl does have the up in the film section because GOTT doesn't even have a movie out. I have't read Gone Girl but I have read a different piece of work from Gillian Flynn, Sharp Objects, I feel that she has the talents to write a good mystery/thriller novel. You can refer to my previous blog post 'Gone Girl vs. The Girl on the Train' to read about the similarities and differences within the two books.
