Welcome to Litsy!

I considered bailing on this during the first few chapters, but decided to stick it out until the title happened. I‘m so glad I did! The dull, frustrating first several chapters are important to set up why no one wants to listen to or help Iris. I figured out the mystery fairly early on but reading along to see how the characters would figure it out and the mental tortures Iris goes through along the way was very enjoyable. Movie is on Hoopla!

The Wheel Spins aka The Lady Vanishes - this was a lot of fun! I've never seen the movie but would like to check it out. The MC wasn't very likeable but it's impossible not to sympathize with her distress. I liked how the overheard conversation between Hare and the professor, about the effectiveness of juries and reliability of witnesses, set a theme for how the journey would play out.

The movie is probably my favorite of Hitchcock‘s & I enjoy the other movies & books it has inspired so much that our dog is named Owen after Danny Devito‘s character in Throw Momma From The Train, so I am thankful to @JenlovesJT47 for organizing the #HitchToScreen to finally get my copy off of my TBR! I didn‘t love the audio performance here and I think the tension would have been more pronounced physically reading it but still what a debut novel!

I enjoyed this dark thriller. I‘ve read the first three in the Ripley series, so this is my fourth Highsmith. Glad there are still more. #HitchToScreen

I finally finished Strangers On A Train for #HitchToScreen - I‘d give it a soft pick & I really wish Goodreads did half stars. The movie, imo, is a masterpiece, & this is one of the instances where I think the movie is better than the book. My biggest gripe is that it‘s too long & dragged a lot. Guy is much more sympathetic in the movie. By the end of the book I was rooting for no one. Still, it‘s a great premise for a book. 3.5⭐️

Sorry, #HitchtoScreen. I just couldn‘t stand to be with these people a moment longer.

I finished this a few weeks ago, but forgot to post my review. This was a thrilling read, and I was on the edge of my seat to see what would happen to our MCs. #Hitchtoscreen
