Review: Whenever you think you know it, Christie fools you at the end.
The ending...- just when you think you know it and your finished... YOUR NOT- keep reading until the very last word

Summary: Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None
Review: And Then There Were None, by Agatha Christie is a mind bending, and thought provoking murder mystery. Eight guests are invited by seperate but mysterious invitations to spend their holiday together on Indian Island. While each guest is different in many ways all have one thing in common, which you will find out as you read. An old nursery rhyme of Ten Little Indian Boys leads a scandalous curiosity throughout the book. I've never read a book like this, it's almost like playing the board game Clue. You must play close to every chapter and detail if your ultimate goal is to solve the mystery before you're done with the book. Agatha Christie did an excellent job creating different characters all playing key roles to the mystery of Indian Island. This book his different because it is written with thoughts coming straight from the characters rather then just telling the events. The reactions of the characters help develope a good flow and clear up any confusion you might have while reading. "It is lovely here. The hills and the red earth and everything so green and luscious looking."-pg18 said by Vera Claythorne You wouldn't have guessed that this novel was going to be any kind of mystery. Agatha Christie leaves no description out, at the beggining of the novel. Although the title may sway your oppinions, her description of a what seems to be vacation island is the last thing Indian Island is. Many of the guest who would be staying on Indian Island first viewed it as a welcoming of oppurtunities, that was also assured in their invitations to the island. What the guest do not know is their beautiful beach resort island is going to be the setting of a huge murder scene. The vocabulary that arises in this novel is not too difficult but does take some time to analyze as you read. This book is for anybody who wants a good suspensful mystery. And Then There Were None has many main characters and is often hard to follow. If you have trouble with this, I do not reccomend this book for your choice.

Summary: Last Page Thriller.
Review: It is usually for a person if he repeat reading any book will feel boring, but, i have read And Then There Were None for almost 5 times now, and planing maybe to read it again.
There is something "unknown" exsist inside the pages and between the letters, everytime i read it i discover something new in the guests personality,and i feel anyway that i am reading it for the first time. I have it in both languages, English and Arabic, and also the Arabic copy was translated by a Doctor of the Arabic literature, so it was something fabulous to read in Arabic, too.
You can't guess who is the killer, even if you guessed, your guessing will die with the person in his turn,so you have to guess again, and again the death will be faster than you, and so it is.In the end, you wont the believe that killer was:..., well discover it by yourself, it is worth.

Summary: A Near-Perfect Thriller That Will Leave You Breathless
Review: If you are part of the generation that has not thrilled to this classic piece of suspense writing, you are in for a treat. A number of people are invited for the weekend to a lone mansion on an island. When they arrive, their host, Mr. U. N. Owen, is not there, and they realize that his name means "unknown." They try to leave, but there is no way off the island. Soon, they find to their horror that their host has filled the house with booby-traps that use a trait of each guest to kill him or her. As people die unexpectedly, suspense rises to a screaming level before the author hits you with a breathtaking finish. It may leave you limp at the end, but it's great fun.

Summary: Christie's Best--The Genre's Best
Review: AND THEN THERE WERE NONE is Agatha Christie's finest novel. It's plot is fantastic. Ten strangers are lured to an isolated island and then, one by one, get murdered. If there has ever been a better mystery written, I haven't read it.

Summary: Mystery's Most Famous
Review: When I read this book, it was the first mystery I'd ever read, but the book was so good that I began to read more mystery. After becoming the mystery connoisseur, I determined that this was by far the best Agatha Christie novel and best mystery novel in general. This book is a real page turner because the reader has no idea who the killer is until the last page (even further then that actually; you don't find out until the epilogue)! This book has even gone down in history crowning the phrase "and then there were none." So, in conclusion, I believe that this book is a must read for a first time mystery reader or a life-long mystery lover!!!

Summary: Book Review of And Then There Were None
Review: And Then There Were None is a book written by Agatha Christie. It is a mystery that is very unpredicting. This book was suggeted to me by a friend and I would only suggest this book to someone if they are into a mystery. I was really not that much into the book. I guess it is not the kind of book i really read. The story is about eight people are invited to a summer holiday on "Indian Island." As they get to the island they are greeted by a butler and a maid. They tell the guests that the hosts will not be there for the first night. After they arrive the guests take notice that the house in which they are staying is very strange. They go to dinner the first night and one of the guests is killed. Then all of the guests are killed one by one. No one knows who the killer is and there is hardly any evidence and a lot of accusals. At the end of the book you get to find out who the killer is and why they did it. This book was okay in my opinion but it is very laid out and long. Overall the only people who should read this book is the people who are into mysteries.

Summary: A heart-pounding thriller
Review: If you ever wondered why Agatha Christie has gotten such acclaim and praise, read this book and you'll find out why. Ten strangers, completely unknown to each other (except for one couple) are invited to attend a party at the mysterious new mansion built on Indian Island by a Mr. and Mrs. U.N. Owen, who is unknown to all of the guests. When they get there, they discover that the host and hostess are nowhere to be found. They soon realize that they have been tricked into coming to the island, a mistake that will ultimately cost their lives. When I first started reading this, I have to admit I was a little bored with the exposition. In fact, I stopped reading it after Chapter 1 for a few days, uninterested. But, I eventually decided to try reading more, and thankfully, I got hooked. As soon as the first person dies, your eyes become instantly glued to the pages, not wanting to put the book down. I know that's what happened to me. And when the killer is finally revealed, it's one of those moments when you hit your forehead and say, "Oh my God, I can't believe I didn't realize that!" All of the other 270 pages definitely pays off with the last 5 pages. If you love whodunit mysteries, or if you loved the show "Murder in Small Town X", I highly suggest you read this. It's heart-pounding excitement at its best.
