The movie is very similar to the book.

I found the movie on Netflix and decided to play it on whim, and it ended up becoming my new favorite movie. I was excited to find out it was a book and quickly bought a copy. The book is very different from the movie, such as The Prince is far darker and more unlikeable. However, I appreciate both as separate medias. I loved Lemon and Tangerine just as much as I did in the movie. Looking forward to trying out more of Isaka‘s work! 4 🌟‘s

Starting today.

Guilty of seeing (and loving) the movie first. But they differ in many ways, so I still could enjoy this book for its own sake. Isaka comes up with a very creepy character, who is even more spooky in the book. Loved the background stories the movie couldn't provide. I also think it's interesting that you're rooting for murderers here, you start to like them, even though they all are antagonists. Well put by the author.

This book is my #Roll100 in January. Loved the movie and now I'm so curious about the book!

@PuddleJumper

I enjoyed the heck out of this book! I only had a minor quibble about how much time Isaka spends inside The Prince‘s mind, to the point where I felt it took me out of the story. The ending was a bit anti-climactic as well, but otherwise I loved the very unique characters and the unique setting.

Probably one of the last few reasonably warm mornings to sit out on the patio with some cold brew and my book.

I don‘t read many thrillers because they tend to feel very samey to me, but this book sucked me right in. The translation is marvelous, the characters are a bit bonkers, and I can‘t wait to see where it‘s all going.

I‘m also listening to the audio version, read by a very good narrator.

The strangest set of contract killers get on a train. They then proceeded to intersect with one another in a very deadly fashion. Sounds simple but this storyline was not. I loved the unexpected overlaps and the utter ridiculousness that is Nanao‘s constant misfortune. I now know way too many random facts about Thomas the Train and his friends.

I really hope the movie does this book justice. If you‘re looking for an action packed read, pick this.

Chaotic fun with a bunch of killers on Japan‘s bullet train; pure entertainment. Made into a Japanese movie and now a US version (see poster.) Enjoy the ride!

I had to postpone my trip on Bullet Train but now my journey is finished. What a ride! Very cinematic and violent with plot twists and turns. Five(?) assassins are aboard the high speed train between Tokyo and Morioka. All have conflicting assignments from the Japanese underworld. Not all are necessarily who they appear to be. Who will make it off alive?

Lunch! Very much enjoying this library ebook.

I really enjoyed this book. Was sold immediately on the premise, loved the setting, and was tickled pink by Lemon‘s obsession with Thomas the Tank Engine 😂

Really? Brad Pitt as the lead character in this movie? How dull.

Darkly humorous take on thriller. What happens when you lock a bunch of ki;let's for hirer and the unluckiest bag man on a train? Chaos, chaos happens.

It's a fun cast of characters with lots of banter, except for the teen psychopath, his perspective is kind of dull with typical musings. Takes a while for the chaotic energy to culminate into the kind of adrenaline pumping action of a thriller but really the ride itself is more interesting.

This is the story of 5 assassins on Japan's high speed “bullet train.“ This isn't the fastest of thrillers, but there are enough reversals & twists to speed the plot along nicely. Each of the assassins is working a job on the train. What they come to find out is that perhaps their jobs are connected in ways they did not expect. It's a light read and I enjoyed it, even if it wasn't my favorite book ever!
