Murder on the Orient Express: A Hercule Poirot Mystery

Rating:
Summary: Solve the Crime with Hercule Periot
Review: This book was extremely first-rate. I enjoyed it thoroughly because the plot was complex but the author made it easy to follow. Agatha Christie is a gifted writer and she makes you feel as if you personally know the characters. It was easy to get engrossed in this mind-boggling mystery. In some Christie's many other books she uses the same detective but entirely different plots. You solve the mystery right along side the highly revered, French detective Hercule Periot in this intriguing tale. I would recommend this book to anyone with an appetite for a juicy mystery and would also like to recommend some other books by this proficient author. Also see: Murder on the Nile, Evil Under the Sun, And Then There Were None, and the Ms. Marpole collection. So, if you're looking for an intriguing whodunit and an exciting mystery, I strongly recommend Murder on the Orient Express.

Summary: Average Undertaking from the Master
Review: This particular mystery is actually a little slower and less engaging than other Christie novels. For one thing, the author gives Poirot an ascendant over the supposedly-expert medical examiner on board the train, making the doctor second guess himself a little too often (a nationality bias on Christie's part). Second, the victim is a hated man, making the murder less sensational, but the fact that the train is snowbound and that no one can escape the Express makes for a less-than-exciting notion that the killer is still on board (though everyone acts as if under sedation during their "enforced captivity"). As the mystery is unraveled, the entire truth appears on the instant, abruptly ending any suspense. This is my 2nd Christie mystery after "Death on the Nile," a much more gripping book.

Summary: Horrible
Review: This book was very confusing and hard to read. It didn't give you a lead on who the murderer was so you weren't really into the story so much that you didn't want to put it down. I wouldn't reccomend this book, but I had to read it for school.

Summary: An enduring classic
Review: Even people who have not read anything by the great Agatha Christie have probably heard of this book. It is perhaps her most well-known work and has, of course, been made into an Academy Award winning film starring Albert Finney as Poirot. Murder on the Orient expressed has achieved worldwide renown because, simply, it is one of the greatest mysteries written by the greatest mystery writer of all time. It is extremely well-plotted and sharply written. Out of all Christie's books, this one contains the best cast of characters/suspects.The ending is a surprise (even though some other reviewers gave away the solution!) and very satisfying. This is a must-read for all mystery fans.

Summary: the best final
Review: This book is writing by the British Agatha Christie, who is a very fascinate writer, in short this book talked about a bunch of people who are worried because someone died in the Orient Express, so they have a detective who's name is Hercules Poirot, he is trying to find who is the murder, because the tragedy occur inside of this train. Everyone was with a lot of mystery and at the same time nervous, in the beginning, they found so many things like a kimono, cigarrete, handkerchief, and things like that, but the weird thing was that everyone was a suspect. In the end, the detective investigated all the truth, nobody can imagine the end because is fascinate, the end of this book has a lot of mystery, I really love this book, if you like drama, this is the perfect book for you, and also can keep you awake all night. When you started to read this book, I can promise you that you can't stop. Just read it and then you can see what I talking about.

Summary: Fascinating Train Traveling Experience!
Review: I had a really fascinating traveling experience by reading this Agatta Christie's novel. She just converts the reading process into a thinking one by using a singular mixing of characters from different countries and social status; a Russian Princes, an American young man which works as a secretary, a French count, a British valet, etc. A murder was committed at the Calacia car of the Orient Express during its travel from Istanbul through Paris. All the 13 passengers have alibis. Only a pipe cleaner, a scarlet kimono, a monogrammed handkerchief and a watch pointing to 1:15 a.m. are the physical evidences. You will be able to follow step by step the inquiries of the famous detective Poirot, who by interviewing all the passengers discovers a strange relation between the victim, the Armstrongs which are a wealthy American family, and the murderer. By the end of the novel, you'll discover that all your assumptions were far away from the most unexpected answer.

Summary: This book made fun of me!
Review: This book made me guess till the end, and it was almost impossible to guess who was the killer. This is the only book that I have ever read which is very thrilling, exciting and confusing. A murder is committed on the small train that is scheduled to go from Istanbul to Paris a couple of decades ago. A guy named Ratchet is killed and found in his compartment in the morning. Mr. Poirot, a Belgium detective who was in charge of the inspection, tries to investigate and interview with all passengers, trying to discover decisive clues from the passengers, but the accurate evidence never shows up anywhere and all reasonable possibilities of a murderer are gone. The murderer gets far away from the solution as time passes. After all, he found that all of them are related to the specific person. Who would know that all passengers were murderer and connected with the Armstrong's family whose young kid were kidnapped and killed? They conspired to kill Ratchet who kidnapped the little young girl. They take the same train and killed him. I was surprised to get to know all truth at the end of the book. I guessed a lot and noted whatever is recognized as important evidence, but never thought like that. It didn't released me out of wondering until I found the answer.

Summary: Guess who! Be a detective yourself~!
Review: I have read this book when i was very young. It was just for fun then. I read this book when i'm 24 now, for fun again. But it is very different feeling i have between when i read this book when i was a kid and i read this in the age of 24.
this book is mystery. And I think this book deserves to be called the 'Mystery'' There are several passengers in an unusually crowded oriental express train. Somebody is killed in the train. There seems nobody came into the train. It means the murderer is still in the train! Let's see how Mr.Poirott, the detective, finds the murderer. And be a detective yourself, too.
