The book Strangers on a train is written by Patricia Highsmith and the book’s release year is 1950. It is a scary, distress and very anxious book because it is a psychological thriller and it tells about two strange men to each others who meet on a train and start doing weird and also scary things. Book’s leading character is Guy Haines and the other leading character is Charles Anthony Bruno. Bruno pulls Guy into a world of madness, death and lies with himself.
At first the leading character Guy Haines is very sweet and peaceful man but when he and Bruno start to hang out together Guys personality changes. He becomes stressful and paranoid and Bruno manipulates him all the time. Guy used to be independent but Bruno made it disappear. First Guy also hate Bruno because he kill Guys ex-wife. Bruno killed Guys ex-wife because he wants that the Guy would kill his father. As we can see Bruno is a very mentally ill.
In the book are many themes like death and payback. And of course there are negative themes in the book because it is a psychological thriller. But I think the main theme is that the people can chance. The end of a book was very melancholic. Guy did something terrible and he understood something by himself.
Narrator is a third person omniscient. That has made the book easy to read because narrator tells so well all the things. Narrator is empathising in the story and it’s not chancing in the book. The book language is also easy and words are basic glossary that anyone should know.
