They each find a nursery ryme in there bedrooms, "Ten Little Indians", and one by one they are killed off acorrding to what the ryme says. Before they are all dead..... will they find out who wants them dead?? Or will they not last that long?? This story is one of Agatha Christie's most suspensful stories yet. I couldn't put it down.

Summary: Christie at her most entertaining
Review: Ten people arrive at a large house on a private island, and one by one they die, dictated by the lines of a nursery rhyme...this endlessly imitated scenario is the setting of Agatha Christie's classic, AND THEN THERE WERE NONE.

More than anything, what distinguishes this novel from Christie's other works is that this is the only mystery that actually generates suspense--and by suspense I mean sheer, genuine terror. This isn't just about a murder mystery; it's about a ruthless killer, and you KNOW that sooner or later, every character is going to die.

Even more chilling is the question of just who the murderer is. The killer has to be one of the ten--but is it? The murders are committed so brilliantly (one woman dies from a bee sting) that Christie subtly suggests the possibility of a supernatural murderer, a possibility that never really fades from the reader's mind even though it violates all principles of the detective story.

I might say that AND THEN THERE WERE NONE is Christie's most entertaining work. Usually it takes me at least three days to finish a book, but I completed this one in less than one day. Christie demonstrates some of her most stylish, hypnotic prose in this novel--her narrative literally propels the reader forward. Her characters are flawlessly structured, and the suspense is skillfully maintained.

As for the plotting--although the central situation is intriguing, to say the least, the plotting itself is not nearly as complex and ingenious as THE MURDER OF ROGER ACKROYD or DEATH ON THE NILE. While the excitement of the ten murders is more than enough to keep this thriller going, the story is really not as layered and intricate as one might expect. But don't let this keep you from reading it--the solution is surprising and satisfying, and you probably won't have a more entertaining reading experience. Not quite the definitive Christie, but excellent nonetheless.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The book that made me fall in love with Agatha Christie.
Review: What can I say? The first Agatha Christie I ever read, and I've read over forty of her books since. None of them, however (nor any other book), has ever replaced it as my unquestioned favorite. Great characters (the dense Mr. Blore was my favorite), a brilliant plot (every character is a suspect, murderer, AND a victim!), and a chilling, suspenseful atmosphere. If you HAVE to see one of the movie versions, see the 1945 film starring Walter Huston, Roland Young, and Richard Haydn.

Although it (and all other film versions) stupidly alters the original novel ending (yes, I know Agatha herself changed it for the stage), it still contains plenty of atmosphere and hilarious dark humor.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: GREAT BOOK
Review: if you like mysteries you should deffinately 100% read this book! I couldn't put it down!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Agatha's masterpiece-- The Best Mystery Ever
Review: I own over thirty Agatha Christie books, and this is my favorite. This was my first adult book (I read it when I was 10), and Agatha wrote the book in a way that was both intriguing and easy for everyone to grasp. The plot itself remained true to the artist's trademark style, gathering a certain amount of people and placing them in a life ending predicament. The ending was of Dame Agatha's best, and this was without the amazing Hercule Poirot to help us come to the conclusion. I reccommend any Agatha book, whether it be a classic such as this, the Mousetrap, Murder on the Orient Express, or even the more understated books... remember that Dame Agatha wrote almost 80 mystery novels, and each have twisting and original plots. Agatha Christie is one of the greatest authors that ever lived... and I don't think that anyone will contradict that after reading this novel.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Greatest Book!
Review: The book really captured my interest! The suspense of Agatha Christie's work was really intriguing. As a story of 10 people who come to a deserted island to meet their fate, they really do fall.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A fast paced, nerve-racking mystery!!!
Review: This book was sooooooooooo AWESOME!!! Agatha Christie seemed to "suck" me into the book. I was so nervous toward the end, I put on the TV while I was reading. I love how all the characters have different personalities, and characteristics. The murderer was defidently my least suspected suspect. If you're looking for a great mystery, read And Then There Were None!
