Great book, definetly worth reading., Mar 23 2009
By Rufiya B "Rufiya" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Ticket To Ride (Hardcover)
This book has had a new hype since Robert Pattinson recommended it. I actually heard about this book a couple years back from an uncle. It goes through the mind of a married man on a train who doesnt know who he is, where hes going, and why he's on the train. He goes through various "events" or atleast imagines them. Dennis Potter leaves a lot of the interpretation to his readers, he also leaves the book with an open-end.

Please save your money---thanks Rob but no thanks...., Jan 24 2010
By The Topiary Cow ".........Hedges will Rule th... - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Ticket To Ride (Hardcover)
Gaah! Do NOT spend your money on this book just because Rob Pattinson recommends it!If you MUST know what the book is about, here ya go: crazy guy on train has some heavy thoughts, marries a prostitute, guy loses his job and is in an insane asylum, still thinking some heavy thoughts, maybe kills somebody, goes home and hugs his wife who maybe has two dead bodies in the cupboard, and kills off an imaginary friend, or not, and an invisible person continuously throws rocks into a pond.
There was a deep thought that schooling (in England) determines your class (or lack of it) and that we spend too much time thinking of how we ARE instead of what we do.
That's it. Please do not waste your hard-earned 40 bucks on this book. Pretty sure Rob Pattinson is having you on....he recommends books that are out-of-print, movies that are only available in England. His Vanity Fair photospread showed him reading "Sex-Driven People" which is ALSO out of print, and very expensive! Come on ladies, you know the guy has a sense of humor, he's gotta be joking about this book!
Either that or there is a lot of heavy meaning to this book that only a "Creative Writing 101" class would suss out...well Rob has said he wants to be a writer but if he takes after this author we are in for some heavy weather if he does start publishing. :)

The RP endorsement?, July 29 2009
By Tiffany J. Watson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Ticket To Ride (Hardcover)
So Rob Pattinson expresses his interest in this book, and now its price is exorbitant. Shame on the sellers for riding in on that coat tail.
Listmania!
