Rating: Summary: This is Agatha Christie's best book! Review: "And Then There Were None" is, in my opinion, Agatha Christie's best book. Ten people, strangers to each other, each receive invitations to stay with a friend of theirs on a famous island. However, when they arrive there, no one is at the house. They settle down for the night to wait, and one of them is killed. This is a very suspenseful book, with an ending that's as surprising as Agatha Christie's other endings. I think it's a great book you should definitely read. Just make sure you don't read it at night!
Rating: Summary: Brilliant Review: This book is so brilliant. This is probably Agatha Christies's greatest novel; and yet there is no trace of Hercule Poirot. The reason for this becomes clear as you read the novel.Ten uncaught murderers are invited to a luxury island by the ethereal U.N. Owen. They are all alone. Then they are murdered, one by one by one by one...until they are all dead. Yes, ALL. How, you ask? That's what's so brilliant. Before reading this book I thought The Murder of Roger Ackroyd was Christie's best mystery. But unlike that novel, and unlike most of her "great" novels (Orient Express, Nile), here there is no trick plot. Everything is precisely what it appears to be. And that's what's brilliant. I can only compare it to a master conjuring trick, which you can puzzle over forever before it is finally revealed. The writing quality is also brilliantly atmospheric; and unusually for Christie, the characters here are unforgettable and realistic. There is nothing lightweight about this novel - you can tell Christie really took this one seriously.
Rating: Summary: wow! Review: It being summer vacation, and having nothing to do, i went to the library to borrow a good book to read. I'm really into mystery books right now, and so I asked the librarian to pick out a good mystery book for me, just to avoid any cheesy mystery books. I've always loved mysteries ever since i was a little toddler..i guess I discovered that when I found out about the boxcar children seires..okay well anyways, my librarian picked out this book. He said it was an absolute classic. I read it, and wow! what a great book! i thought. So if you're thinking about reading this book, definately go ahead with it. It's great!
Rating: Summary: An origional Agatha Christie book! Review: This book was excellent! It took a little while(Maybe 3 chapters) to really get involved in the book. Ten strangers are invited to the island by a mysterious host (later found out that the host is one among the ten). Then, randomly, People get killed off, one by one. The real fun in the book is trying to guess who the mysterious murderer is. You'll have such a surprise at the end! P.S- read the epilouge to find out who really killed the people, otherwise you may get the impression that someone else did the murders, or you may be confused.
Rating: Summary: My first Agatha...not as impressed as I thought I'd be Review: This was my first Agatha Christie book. I knew she was the famed "best selling mystery writer" and I guess when you hear all the hype your expectations soar. While the book wasn't bad, I found some of it perplexing and somewhat difficult to swallow. While the motive was sneaky, I didn't feel that Christie persuaded me enought to make it believable. None the less, I tried another book..."The Murder of Roger Ackroyd". Please look up that book to see my review on it.
Rating: Summary: One of the best! Review: I have to say that "Ten Little Indians" is one of my favorite Christy's stories! It has everything: great characters and character/story development, mystery, a very smart killer, surprising and unexpected ending! I would recommend this book for anyone who's looking for a good book to read. And believe me, you'll never guess the killer!
Rating: Summary: This book is amazing!! Review: I bought this book because I hadn't read a mystery in a while and the title caught me (it's too bad the title gives away what eventually happens in the book, though.) I can't say how amazingly well written this book was. This was the first book I ever read by Agatha Christie, and I know that she's a wonderful author already. It will keep you guessing until the last few pages, when at last you learn how he (or she) did it. Buy this book-- you won't regret it!!
Rating: Summary: The Best Review: This is the best mystery of all time.You will love this novel. the ending will blow you away.Make this the first book on your list.There is no way you could not like this book.You will be in tense suspence.You will read 100 times you will love it so much.The ending is impossible to figure out.
Rating: Summary: Gripping Review: I found this book to be and Excellent read and the plot was first-rate gripping stuff but it was strange how this was very different to Agatha Christie's other works, because while other books come together like jigsaw puzzles in this anyone could be the killer and there is no logical way to 'guess' the culprit.
Rating: Summary: WoW! Is this a killer!-- Review: This is probably one of the best mysteries ever written! And I read a lot of them. Poe had nothing on her in this book! It was fantastic! The characters, the plot, everything. Farfetched, yes, but it is still so incredible! 10 strangers are invited to an island and one by one they are being killed. It is just too good for words!
