All in all a really enjoyable book, dark in places and funny in others. 

Definitely keep in mind that this doesn't end like the film does but is just as good (if not better!)

Being a book about Assassin's, expect related topics to that to happen in the book -especially as there's 5 of them stuck on a train

4.0

This was a super fun popcorn movie of a thriller about several assassins and other shady types all trying to complete their missions on one crazy train ride. The characters are all larger than life and feel bold and unique. The tension never lets up and every tiny detail that ever comes up is tied up perfectly by the end.

I would have given this 5 stars but there's a minor side character who, while I enjoyed her, was constantly assailed by transmisogynist jokes and that bugged me. I'm hoping that gets fixed in the upcoming film version.
