Here are reviews for the books I read in July that I didn’t have time or energy to do a full review on. Note: I was out of work in July so I read a lot. The Woman in Cabin 10 *** Read this while on a cruise ship and it definitely gave me some interesting feelings! A relatively entertaining thriller. I’d read another Ruth Ware book but wouldn’t rush out to do so From Crook to Cook: Platinum Recipes From Tha Boss Dogg’s Kitchen**** […]

The Girl on the Boat

The Woman in Cabin 10 by Ruth Ware

August 7, 2020 by Wanderlustful Leave a Comment

I have been seeing this one all over the place but hadn’t really been interested as it seemed like a The Girl on the Train knockoff.  Although it has shades of Girl on the Train, I was pleasantly surprised. We meet our heroine, Lauren ‘Lo’ Blacklock, as she is being burgled in her London flat- she comes face to face with the thief who then locks her in her bedroom while he completes his crime and escapes.  Although she is thankful to have not been […]

A mysterious murder and excess alcohol consumption? Must be an unreliable female narrated thriller…

October 9, 2017 by Aquillia Leave a Comment

I’ve been on a bit of a thriller kick recently, so–like many other Cannonballers–I’ve read In a Dark Dark Wood and The Woman in Cabin 10 by Ruth Ware. They relied very heavily on the ‘unreliable female narrator’ trope, bringing up inevitable comparisons to The Girl on the Train. They’re not as good as Girl on the Train. (I haven’t read Gone Girl, while I have seen the film, so I can’t compare there.) I’m way behind on my reviewing, but I figured I’d start with these ones. Quick […]

Why with the ridiculous female protagonist? WHY?

August 3, 2017 by kella Leave a Comment

 I always feel torn about books like this one.  There are so many flaws, and yet, I still sorta enjoyed it. The main character, Lo, is a travel journalist who is setting out on the maiden voyage of a luxury yacht, headed to view the Northern Lights in Scandinavia.  Days before leaving on the trip, her apartment is burgled while she is home, she has a huge fight with her boyfriend, and is generally on edge. The first night on the boat, she hears a […]

Like hope, stupid also floats.

August 1, 2017 by TylerDFC Leave a Comment

Quite possibly the stupidest, most aggravating character in recent memory blunders her way through a mystery like an amateur Inspector Clouseau. It’s staggering how many poor decisions our hero Laura “Lo” Blacklock makes on a minute to minute basis. I had to keep checking that the author wasn’t actually a man writing under a woman’s pseudonym because this is one of the most misogynistic books I’ve read in some time. Sample dialogue: “I groaned at my own stupidity…” “Why didn’t I listen to…” “How could […]

Better than expected

June 2, 2017 by ingres77 Leave a Comment

Others have drawn comparisons to Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train, and, being the natural conformist that I am, I’m not going to buck the trend. If you like your female mystery novel narrators on the unreliable side, this may be the book for you. Which is a weird burgeoning trope, if, indeed, three books can be considered a trope. Sometimes, a culture just decides that it’s ready for something. We all consume, basically, the same information. So its not surprising that there would be […]
