Rating: Summary: good mystery Review: when i recieved my summer reading list for the tenth grade i immediatley choose this book because the description sounded exciting and different from the type of books normally given on school lists. after reading the book i descovered that it was suspensful, a good mystery, and told in a good style. i really enjoyed the story of ten people summed to an island by an unknown host. one by one they are killed off, and the remaining begin to suspect everyone else, even the people they trusted in the beginning. i thought it was a great suspense story where you don't figure out the mystery until the last couple of pages.

Rating: Summary: Irresistible Suspense, Justice, Red Herring and Perfect Plot Review: Unlike most mysteries you will read, this one will always stay with you. Agatha Christie has surmounted the mystery form to provide a fascinating story of morality and immorality, in which justice plays an unusual hand. The title nicely displays the mystery (which has a perfect plot from my point of view). And then there were none -- who did it? Agatha Christie wrote this in a spare and efficient way so that the story starts moving immediately, and speeds up as you go.As you can imagine from the book's age and the author, this is a classic English murder mystery. The murders are there, but the blood does not overwhelm. Violence and social niceties nudge one another for your attention. At the same time, there is hope. Agatha Christie adds her hope for the future in a most unusual way in this novel, that will leave you encouraged for the future of humanity after first causing you to despair. One of the beauties of the plot is that it expands on the famous locked room format to include an island where there is no access or exit, nor any way to communicate. That gives much more room for interesting plot developments without losing any of the intellectual puzzle of a locked room. An unusual factor about this novel is that you will soon find yourself identifying with the guilty victims (even though you are not a murderer). Usually, mystery novels have the reader identifying with the innocents or the detective. That is accomplished by creating a gripping sense of paranoia as the numbers of those on the island rapidly dwindle. Don't miss this book! Once you start you won't be able to put it down. After you are done and have savored all of the book's brilliance, reflect a little about how Agatha Christie explored stalled thinking about what was going on to make the plot so effective. Then think about all of those places in your life and business where things may also not be what they seem. If you can use this insight to locate your misconception stalls, you will be doubly blessed by reading this book. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
Rating: Summary: And Then There Were None Review: Fantastic story. This is the one that started it all for me -- my love of Agatha Christie. Since then I've read nearly all her books. The complaints about Christie's characters being two dimensional and surprise evidence near the end of the story don't seem that obvious here. 10 Little Indians
Rating: Summary: Awesome Book Review: This is Ama, a High school student. I read this book by force. One hting's for sure. I absolutely HATE reading. But once i started reading the chapters on the book i became more interested in it and what could happen next! NOthing i planned happenned. I would highly recommend this book. i read this book in two days!! It was a great book! It is adventure, and a twister the whole way around.

Rating: Summary: My favorite Agatha Christie Book Review: This was the first Agatha Christie book that I ever read and after that I was hooked. There is a reason why they call her Queen of Crime. She is absolutly genius! I loved the plot. I loved Indian Island. The characters were fabulous. This is a book that I've read to my 8th grade class for the past couple of years and every year they all learn about the wonderful world of Agatha Christie. If you are looking for a really good book with a swift and astounding ending then I highly, highly recommend this book, you won't be disapoinnted.
Rating: Summary: Every page ends with a totally different mystery... Review: 10 murderers... 1 deserted island... 1 killer amongst them.... NO hercule poirot, just perfect murders... You'll love this book. You can't help to suspect everyone and as usual it's the one you least suspect. Get this book -- you'll be glad you did. It's short, fasinating and every page ends with a totally differnt mystery...
Rating: Summary: Great book Review: Very few books have kept my attention the way this book did.
Rating: Summary: It really caught my attention Review: My sophmore year in high school I didn't read ANY of the books they gave to us...except And Then There Were None. Instantly, this book caught my attention and I've been looking for it ever since. I love mysteries and this book made me like them even more! It's about 10 different people, strangers really, who get stuck on this island together. Slowly, they start disappearing and getting murdered, one by one. But there are surprises everywhere. If you like murder mysteries, YOU'LL LOVE THIS BOOK!
