Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Absolutely chilling!
Review: While not having the most ingenious denouement, nevertheless this book is definately the scariest Christie wrote. The helpless terror felt by the islands prisoners is all encompassing; I felt quite desperate myself in fact! Read this book if you want a real puzzler and to scare yourself silly.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fantastic book
Review: Many of the other reviews are correct. Once I picked up this book and began reading it, I couldn't put it down until I was finished. In fact, this is one of the best books I've ever read. Highly, highly, highly recommended to anyone who enjoys great books

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Ten Little Suspects
Review: To paraphrase the old nursery rhyme: "Ten little, nine little, eight little suspects." The suspects fall in rapid succession as the flying fickle finger of suspicion points to one after another. This group of unlikely and unlikeable suspects find themselves marooned on a deserted island. Each hides a dark secret, each is guilty of some past wrong. An unknown avenger strikes them down one at a time, until . . . . Christie pulls of her usual surprise ending and reveals a perpetrator no one would suspect. Not her best work, but an entertaining read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Amazing!
Review: This is the first Agatha Christie book I've read and since then I've been a fan of hers. I was in grade 8 and our homework was to read this book. Like many other reviewers here I finished it in a day or even in a couple of hours as I was so into it.
I've read a lot of her books ever since, all excellent and original, but none impressed me like this one did. It's almost impossible to discover the murderer, and that what makes it even more thrilling. Read it if you haven't, you certainly won't regret it!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Couldn't put it down
Review: This is the first Agatha Christie book I've ever read. After reading this one, it definately won't be the last. Her characters that she creates are 3 dimensional. She does a wonderful job of writing how they interact with each other in these strange situations. I recommend, this book not only because of it's awesome plot, but also the wonderful use of dialogue. I read this book in one day, because I had to find out how it ended!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: And Then There Were None
Review: This book was very exciting. It was an on the edge thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat in suspense. The eleven characters were perfect for this format, you had the general which was the natural leader. The doctor who was always turned to tell the cause of death. The island itself was a perfect setting for this suspense thriller. Isolation and an awkwardly placed poem, completely finished off this top notch novel.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: BEST MYSTERY BOOK EVER
Review: As an avid Agatha Christie reader, this book is my personal favorite. It combines an eerie children's rhyme with the methodical yet unbelievable murder of 10 random people stranded on an island. After each page, your opinion will change about who the culprit is and the ending is definitely a complete shocker. I encourage any mystery fan to read this book- i guarantee that you will thoroughly enjoy it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: And Then There Were None
Review: This has to be my favorite Agatha Christie book of all time. The story is frightening and wonderfully written, and the ending is ingenious.

Ten people are stranded in a mansion on remote Indian Island. They were expecting a relaxing vacation, but instead they are facing death and mortal fear. There is no way to escape, no boat in which to reach the mainland. They are being killed one by one--and the murderer can only be one of them. But which one?

From the beginning to the startling ending, And Then There Were None proves that Agatha Christie is truly one of the best mystery authors of the century.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: And Then There Were None
Review: This is a good book. Like all of Christie's books, it captures the reader's attention. It makes the reader want to read more and find out what happens in each chapter. The entire book is interesting, and the characters are as well. The plot is well structured and thought out. This book leaves the reader wanting to read more of Christie's mysteries.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: You'll never guess it
Review: Christie has some many books which could be termed "her best" that the title becomes somewhat cliche. Almost all Christie's book could be considered her ebst, from my personal favourite "Death Comes As The End", to the one i liked least "Passenger to Frankfurt" which i am sure many other people loved.
All of her books are ingenious, intriguing, and feature a mind-bending puzzle or a fast-paced adventure.

This is no exception. this is porobably one of her most famous, and it's easy to see why. it's completely original and the solution is so unexpected...

The plot runs at such high speed...there's practically a death per chapter...and each person who pops their clogs is murdered in tune with the rhyme "Ten Little Indians". there is a subtle build up of suspense and terror until the final two people remain on the small island, isolated from the world, convinced the other is the killer. paranoia runs rife among the final few victims, and when at last the final ones gets it, we think it's all been sorted out. but oh no.

In the final chapter christie pulls of a brilliant twist, and one that i totally did not see coming. she really pulls the wool over the readers eyes.

a very enjoyable book. highly reccomended
