Rating: Summary: Christie at Her Finest Review: This book is an excellent classic. You don't need to be a Christie fan to admire the brilliance of the plot and the flow of the story. The only possible downside of this book is that it was so good that it if some of the story seems cliched it's because there have been so many who have tried to copy the story. Don't be fooled. This original is a keepsake.What makes this book so enjoyable is that while it is a relative short book by today's standards it is more enthralling. It is not burdened with the gore or the sex of so many mysteries today, but has a solid suspenseful story that will keep you guessing until the end. Read this book whether you're a Christie fan, a mystery lover, an avid reader or even if you pick up a book only once in a great while. You won't regret it.
Rating: Summary: If He Isn't The Killer, Who Is? Review: This Agatha Christie book "And Then There Were None" was an amazing murder mystery.This murder mystery is about ten strangers from all over the world that receive these letters from someone named U.N.Owen. Then they came to the island where they had been told to go. After the first day the people start to die one by one. So they start to think that it is one of them among the people that were left. In the end every single person dies.I greatly enjoyed the fact that whenever I thought that I knew who the murderer was, he or she would die and be expelled from my choices. Agatha Christie kept me on the edge of my feet with her odd and exciting plot and the thrill that I got when I found out who the murderer was. I greatly enjoyed this book and I recommend it to all people that enjoy a great murder mystery and superior writing. You should really read this book and see for yourself who ! the killer is. This book kept me in suspence and never wanted to put the book down. If you do decide to read this book have a great time.
Rating: Summary: 10 Little Indians, 4 Little Stars Review: "Ten Little Indians" (later titled "And Then There Were None") by classic mystery writer Agatha Christie is one of her best works as a novelist ... it will haunt the reader long after they put the book down. It is a classic "murder mystery" type novel, and was the basic idea for movies such as Clue and Murder By Death. Ten strangers receive letters, signed by an old friend, inviting them to spend the week at a mansion on the infamous and deserted Indian Island. When they do arrive at the island, their host never shows up. Then, someone dies mysteriously--murdered by someone or something not seen by anyone else. Then another guest is murdered, and another. It isn't until the remaining guests see an old nursery ryhme about different ways you can die that they realize what their fate will soon be. They are aware that they are not able to contact anyone on the mainland until the end of the week, and by then ... it may just be too late.
Rating: Summary: Mind Blowing Review: All that I can say is wow! Agatha Christie has a talent of adding amazing twists to her books, and she uses it to the full extent in this one. I don't think anyone else could make, or read such a mind boggling book!!
Rating: Summary: None Like This Review: Agatha Christie's most famous book is probably 'Murder on the Orient Express.' If you've ever read that and think like me, you couldn't get past the first chapter; the content was so dull. (I'm sure it got better or it wouldn't have gotten so much acclaim.) When people started recommending this book, I blew it off as another boring mystery. But, after a few weeks, curiosity got the best of me, and I checked it out. Basically, it's about ten people who are summoned to Indian Island. They are confronted with a tape of their sins (all murders) and one by one, they start to die. The greatest part, in my opinion, is the Indian irony. You see, in each guest's (or should I say victim's) bedroom there is a poem about Ten Little Indians who become nine and eight, etc. The guests die in ways similar to the ways outlined in the poem. Also, in the dining room, there are ten little Indian figurines that slowly disappear as each guest dies. Believe me, this is nothing like Murder... The story line is original (for it's time) and very engaging. It's creative and the whole mystery keeps you guessing. I would recommend this to anyone who likes twists and suspense.
Rating: Summary: Good book for middle schoolers!!! Review: THis book is very good. A satrong challenge
Rating: Summary: Ten Little Indian Boys sat down to dine... Review: Previously titled Ten Little Indians, this book was simply amazing, and also became a popular play. Ten seemingly average people are brought together to the exotic Indian Island. While these seven men and three women seem like your every-day Englishmen, they're each guilty of a dark crime, untouchable by the law. When the ten visitors of Indian Island begin dying, one-by-one, it's decided that the murderer must be one of the ten visitors themselves! It's hard to put down a book like this. One moment, you'll be thinking "oh, it's him, of course," and the next page, that person is found dead. A fine Agatha Christie to start with, "And Then There Were None" is among her most famous books. "One little indian boy, left all alone, he hanged himself... And Then There Were None."
Rating: Summary: It is a thriller Review: The killer is Lawrence Wargrave ok so if you have to read this in school and you have a question like who do you predict it is Lawrence Wargrave.

And to top it all off, there is a murderer on the island, picking you off, one by one. The only clue: a nursry ryme. Sound scary, thrilling, exciting? That's the idea in Agatha Christie's mistery novel "And Then There Were None." Not only does it keep you on the edge of your seet, it will keep you coming back for more. If you like misteries, or jsut enjoy a good book, READ IT! It will make you think twice about staying on an island.
