Paula Hawkins has created contemporary novel, The Girl On The Train, which has solidified her place as a good author. When read and evaluated through the eyes of Victor Nabokov, I could find different ways Hawkins proves she is a storyteller, teacher and enchanter.

from Rachel Garrison I enjoyed your paper overall, the different perspective of the storyteller made the story mysterious and exciting for the viewer.
