The Girl on the Train Is Amazon’s Bestselling Book of 2015

The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins has been named the bestselling book of 2015 on Amazon.

In addition to its bestselling books of the year list, the e-commerce company has revealed the titles that made it onto the bestselling kids & teens book of the year, and the most gifted books of the year. Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Old School by Jeff Kinney claimed the number one spot on the kids & teens book list. Go Set a Watchman by Harper Lee nabbed the top spot on the most gifted book list.

Sara Nelson, the editorial director of Books and Kindle at Amazon.com, gave this statement in the press release: “What this list suggests is that Amazon customers like to be entertained—and scared! The creepy thriller The Girl on the Train is our best-selling book of the year, hands down, but Silent Scream, 14th Deadly Sin and Luckiest Girl Alive are no slouches in the category, either. It’s great to see The Nightingale perform so well; it suggests that readers continue to come back to novels about WWII, as long as they deliver stories of people and the difficult decisions that war makes them make.”
