Summary: An interesting book is a great feat, but this was just cool
Review: We just finished reading this book in class, and might I say, it is a great book. It all starts off when ten people: Justice Wargrave, Philip Lombard, Vera Claythrone, Emily Brent, William Blore, Edward Armstrong, Anthony Marston, and Mr. and Mrs. Rogers are all invited to Indian Island. They get inside and talk, and then, a record plays "FREEZE! You are all charged with the following indictments." After everyone has recovered from the shock and told their story, they casually start to drink, but the first person to drink dies! The others just stand there in amazment, as they start to wonder if U.N. Owen is behind this, but it is not until two more people die that they realize one of them is U.N. Owen. But who...?

Summary: A great book
Review: The book, And then There Were None, is a beautifully written mystery. From the beginning on, Agatha Christie, sets the stage for one of the best mysteries I have ever read. In the beginning ten strangers are invited to Indian Island, all by a mysterious host by whom no one knows. The ten strangers all have one thing in common though; they were all murders at one point in time. Some killed for love, some killed for there own life, but many had no real reason. They also had one other thing in common; none were punished for their murders. The law could not touch all the cases. In other words, none of the cases had enough evidence to prove those people as murders. On the other hand, the mysterious host knew everyone's misdeeds and wanted These ten people, one by one, to face their victims' tragic end. So the host killed them, one by one, based upon the poem Ten Little Indians. Below is this poem: Ten little Indian boys went out to dine; One choked his little self and then there were nine.

Nine little Indian boys sat up very late; One overslept himself and then there were eight.

Eight little Indian boys traveling to Devon; One said he'd stay there and then there were seven.

Seven little Indian boys chopping up sticks; One chopped himself in halves and then there were six.

Six little Indian boys playing with a hive; A bumblebee stung one and then there were five.

Five little Indian boys going in for law; One got in Chancery and then there were four.

Four little Indian boys going out to sea; A red herring swallowed one and then there were three.

Three little Indian boys walking in the zoo; A big bear hugged one and then there were two.

Two little Indian boys sitting in the sun; One got frizzled up and then there was one.

One little Indian boy left all alone; He went and hanged himself and then there were none.

From this poem the ten people died by either choking or being "chopped up". As they died, there was one other object that went along with them. This object was a porcelain figure of an Indian. In the center of the table sat a plate with ten figurines but by the end there were none. Among those ten people someone was the murder, who could it be? This story is one of the best ever written. In the begging it is somewhat boring since the author is only telling you who everyone is. Even though it is boring it is a crucial part of the book And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie, one the only books I can read in one sitting.

Summary: number 1
Review: I remember when my ninth grade teacher handed out this book for our class to read, after the first few pages of reading it, I was just so bored. In the beginning, she goes through the description of the characters, which is essential but boring. But once the characters arrive on the island and people start to die, it really is terrific. Unlike a few of Christie's books in which the ending was dull, the ending is surprising and you'll never guess who dunnit. This is the best Christie book I have ever read. I would recommend this book to anyone, even if you're not a big Agatha Christie fan.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great for the classroom
Review: I'm a junior in highschool. My Modern Lit. class had to read this book. It was great. I normally hate the novels we are required to read in school, but I liked this one. I liked it a lot.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Classic page-turner
Review: You will probably want to read this book in one sitting. It's the classic "locked room" mystery. Ten people are on an island, no one can get on and no one can get off. One by one, people start to die for their previously unpunished crimes.

What I think makes the suspense in this book work so well is that we all have, to varying degrees, a guilty conscience. We've probably all gotten away with something at one time or another. But questions always remain in our minds: Does somebody really know about it? Will I really go unpunished? The killer in "And Then There Were None" may just be what we all fear, the one person who knows our sins, and who's not going to let us get away with it. It's that fear that drives the suspense in this book. Any way you may look at it though, it's still hard to set this book down once you start it.

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: and then there were none
Review: and then there were none was a novel anbout a group of 10 people who are all invited to a mysterious house on Indian Island. All these people have one thing in common, and that is that they have all committed a crime. Some of the crimes were accidental but some of them were unintentional. Mysteriously the people staying in the house start dying one by one. The deaths appear to be accidenta but are they? This mystery is well written and keeps you curious the whole book. THe speech of the charaters may be a little difficult to understand for some people, but otherwise and then there were none was a suspenseful and exciting novel.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: And Then There Were None
Review: Indian Island, a mysterious place that ten people are invited to. Who were they invited by? Why were they invited? Some of the "guests" thought they were there for money, for jobs or for a dose of relaxation. All of these "guests" are in the surprise of their lives. The "guests" don't get anything that is good for them. All they get is a murder mystery and a lot to handle. I highly reccomend this Agatha Christie book, AND THEN THERE WERE NONE.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: And Then There Were None
Review: And Then There Were None is about ten people who got invited to this mansion on Indian Island. The book is based on the nursery rhyme "Ten Little Indians." One by one the people start dying because they all committed crimes within the law so they could not be convicted. This is a great mystery. I highly reccomend this book
