Summary: Superb ending
Review: Of all the agatha christie books that i have read( all three of them...) i have to say, that murder on the orient express had that most outstanding, unsuspectable ending, in any book i have ever read. I just gave this book to my dad to read, once i was done, i am sure he likes it just as much as i did. There are many twist and turns to this book which makes chritie the best of them all.

Summary: A Riddle in a Railroad Car
Review: Hercule Poirot, planning to do some sightseeing in Istanbul, is called back to France on urgent business. He books passage on the Orient Express, and becomes an earwitness to a murder in the adjoining sleeper compartment. A desperate criminal attempting to escape some unknown retribution has been stabbed twelve times in his sleep. The train becomes snowbound and Poirot is asked to solve the mystery while the passengers await rescue. It begins as a locked room mystery with all the possible suspects possessing ironclad alibis. Poirot labors mightily in unraveling the Gordian Knot. As the plot unfolds, the circumstances become more and more bizarre, until at the end, Poirot makes perfect sense out of everything.Poirot's insights appear more intuitive than logical, but he proves to be a shrewd guesser. He doesn't seem to have the deductive powers of Dupin or Holmes, but he makes a quite satisfactory detective nonetheless. The audio dramatization published by BDD was excellent. I had a long drive on a business trip, and the miles went by much faster as I listened to the story, staying several steps behind Poirot throughout. It proved so good that I listened to it again on the way home. One quibble about Christie's work. She wound up giving a very logical explanation for almost all the improbabilities that occurred in the story, but she (or at least the audio version) overlooked one very salient feature of such a stabbing. There would have been bloodspatters all over the victim's sleeper and probably trailed down the hallway of the sleeper car, and the killer would have been unable to dispose of his/her bloody clothing. In reality, Poirot should have been able to solve the mystery by following the killer's blood trail or canvassing the train for the bloody clothing.

Summary: 4 star book
Review: This book, unlike most of agatha christie's books, had a pretty good beginning, it caught your interest right away. The characters were interesting as usual, and the storyline was also very good, but I was a little disappointed with the ending. It is definately not one of her better books, but It's still a very good book nontheless.

Summary: Overthrown on the Orient
Review: In Murder on the Orient Express, Agatha Christie does a phenomenal job at gluing the eyes of the reader to the pages of her book. This "who dunnit?" is about a detective, Hercule Poirot who is on a train when an infamous mobster is murdered. Poirot takes the case and is determined to catch the killer. Everyone on the train is a suspect. Christie's work is brimming with imagery and details that keep the reader captivated. She draws a meticulous picture in the reader's mind of each character by portraying the appearance, personality, and voice through her book. For example, one of the characters is a fat Italian man who has a thick accent and has a habit of gesticulating with his toothpick after he has removed it from his mouth. Many of the expressions and words that she selected are so humorous, I found myself smiling every few minutes. However, I did not like the fact that she uses French expressions in the story. Who knows what, "Voilà ce qui est embetant," means? I did not have the slightest clue what was being said. Another aspect of the book I didn't like was the fact that many of the clues in the story were written in italics and were easy to point out. This made the story seem rather predictable to an extent. However, one would have never guessed the surprise ending. Although thecrime story was ingeniously thought out, I didn't think the structure of the book was. Each chapter was dedicated in interviewing a certain passenger on the train. I found it tedious boring because I anticipated what would happen in the next chapter. Despite this, each chapter leaves the reader hanging and lures him or her to read ahead. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves to read mystery books that aren't too scary or violent. This is a murder mystery that will not give the reader nightmares! I also think that people who are entertained by humor will enjoy this book. However, those who like reading books that just get down to the vital facts, skipping over details and imagery will not find this book very fascinating. I urge everyone to try to experience the book because I truly believe that Agatha Christie has done a praise worthy job on it. As said in the end of the book, "I made one fantastic suggestion."

Summary: A real page-turner
Review: Murder on the Orient Express is a very exciting book with a really unexpected ending. Hercule Poirot (the main character) solves yet another puzzling crime. The story takes place on the unusually crowded Orient Express (A prestigious Euroean train), which is forced to stop practically in the middle of nowhere because of a snow storm, and nobody can get in or out of it, again, because of the storm. On the train, in the Calais coach, where the murder was commited are some very unusual characters: A big Italian man; The killed man's valet; The killed man's secretary; A Russian princess; A count and a countess; A detective undercover, who pretends he is a dealer of typewriter ribbons; A loud American woman; Hercule Poirot, Monsieur Bouc, and Dr. Constantine; And some more unusual characters. The murder is commited sometime in the night, and on the next day, Hercule Poirot, Monsieur Bouc (Poirot's friend, and manager of the train company), and Dr. Constantine (another one of Poirot's friends) start questioning the suspects (in this case, everybody) and looking for evidence. They know that the killer is very clever, and still on board. When I got this book I thought, well, I'm just going to read about the evidence and stuff like that, and that will be all. Well, it wasn't. The first part of the book (first 50 pages) really isn't very interesting even though I enjoyed it very much. But after page 50, you will not be able to take your eyes off of it. I stayed up until two o'clock in the morning and read all 200 pages in one night, because I said to myself "I won't be able to go to sleep until I know who the killer is." Get this book. It's worth it.

Summary: So-so....
Review: Murder on the Orient Express may be Agatha Christie's most famous book, and it's said to be the greatest of all of her novels. And that's why I was so disappointed. I've read a number of Agatha Christie's, and I've got to say, this is my least favorite. Now I love Hercule Poirot, and I think the whole idea of it is great, a murder on a train, and nobody able to escape. And while the solution is good, I just wasn't satisfied in the end. The best thing I can say without giving the whole thing away is if you're the kind of person who reads a mystery with high-hopes of figuring it out, stay away from this one.

Summary: Murder On The Orient Express
Review: A wondefully written mystery. Taken place aboard the Orient Express with a full crew of unlikely murderers, or so it seems. That is until a man is murdered in his own room. The way of the murder puzzles everyone including the reader. As you attempt to follow along with the detectives observations you continue to wonder how could any of these people possibly be a murderer. You may think you have it, but the ending is sure to be a surprise.

Summary: A book of pure Genius!
Review: This book is, easily, my favorite secular book. I love Hercule Poiret, and Agatha Christie really had him jumping around in this book! Not only were there brilliant characters and situations, but the solution was unpredictable, wonderful to read, desireable, made sense in the end, and was so good you just had to read it 2, 3, 4 more times! This is a must read for ANY Agatha Christie fan!
