Summary: the best of the best
Review: Agatha Christie has written good pieces of literature and I know this is only my first of her books but I think it is good. Maybe later when I have read more of her other great books I will say this book is a nothing, but for now I say this is the best.

Review: By far, one of the cleverest books I have read in a long time. As always, Christie develops a magnificent plot which unfolds in such a manner that it is impossible to put it down. The novel is, in a word, brilliant.

Summary: If you love mystery, this is what you should read!
Review: I, personally, love any mystery books. I used to like Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys till I figured that they are too childish now. Any of the books that Agatha Christie wrote is an excellent choice for teenagers like me. This is a very good book, has very good reasons and solutions in the end. Read it to find out!!

Summary: a mystery masterpiece
Review: This is one of the best mystery books ever written. Thanks to this book, I embarked on a life long quest to read and own every Agatha Christie book. I'm nearly done. I find "closed door" mysteries the most intriguing, and this one doesn't disappoint. All of the clues are there, and for the observant, can be solved from your armchair. Still, few finish without slapping their foreheads and saying "So THAT'S it!". No loose ends, no unanswered questions. Truly satisfying.

Review: This is one of Christie's best mysteries. I couldn't put it down until the very end. I love train murders because you always know the killer is on board. The ending totally took me by surprise. You must read it for yourself!

Summary: One of Christie's best!
Review: One of Christie's characteristics is that she likes to keep you guessing while trying her utmost to surprise you. The cleverness with which Poirot solves this case at the request of M. Bouc is amazing. This was one of the first Christie's I'd read over 20 years ago, and it made me a fan for life. This is a "must read" for any murder mystery fan; I believe it is my favorite of all her works.

Summary: A book filled with charm, intelligence, and CRIME.
Review: A crime has just been committed, and it is up to Agatha Christie's renowned detective, Mr. Poirot, to solve this one. This time the victim is a passenger on the Orient Express, a famouse early twentieth century passenger train. By coincidence, Mr. Poirot ia also traveling on the Orient Express, and quickly takes on the task of finding the killer. His task, however, is not an easy one, because, as he digs deeper into the case, he finds some suspicous information concerning the victim and his fellow passengers. The Murder on the Orient Express is one of Agatha Christie's truely excellent novels. Agatha Christie uses her innate talent for writing to develop some wonderful characters. My favorite, Mr. Poirot, has such class and intelligenge. He uses his charm to his advantage in solving the case. The reason I enjoyed this book so much is, it was written so that I could speculate on who committed the crime, however when the criminal was revealed to me I was in shock. The case seemed so complicated, yet it was really quite simple. I am very much looking forward to reading more of Agatha Christie's work.

Summary: A mystery filled of suspense!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: This is the first Agatha Christie book that I have ever read and believe me, it really made me wanna read much more. The beginning started off a little slow, but as soon as I got to the end of the first chapter, I was hooked. The basic plot is that a murder has occurred on a train filled with strangers. It feels terrible to know that you will be stuck on a train for at least 2 days(this is because of a snow storm) on the same train as a murderer. The victim is an American kidnapper, so detective Hercule Poirot tries his best to question all the passengers, trying to find someone who is involved with the kidnapping case. The end is very unexpected, but I wasn't too happy with it. Overall, I suggest that anyone who loves mysteries and suspense read it soon!!!!!!!-Reviewed by Preethi
