Rating: Summary: And Then There Were None Review: I am an 8th grader and was assigned this book over the summer. Ireally thoght this was going to be boring because all the other books that schools have givenme have been boring. Boy was I wrong, it took a while, but this book realy unfolded and kept me on the edge my seat. It has lots of action as well as being very suspenseful and keep you wondering what will happen next. Ten people are invited to a lugsurious island with no one else there. Where they all are accused of commiting murder. Someone on th island is killing them off one by one, and that is what is so weird you dont know it is. It keeps you guessing untill the killer is finaly revealed. I strongly recommend this book to readers young and old who want to read a great mystery book that they won't want to put down.
Rating: Summary: The best (?) Review: I think that this Christie is perhaps the best. I say that after every Christie usually, but this one has stood up to half a dozen reads and will get many more from me. It's endurance of suspense and believability of character/situation will have you finishing off the book about four or five hours after starting it.
Rating: Summary: And Then There Were None- Best book I've ever read!!! Review: Wow! What a great book. This is my first Agatha Christie book and I loved it. She knows how to keep a reader on their seat. I don't want to give the book away but its basically about a group of ten peaople who are mysteriously invited to an island. One by one a guest dies by a mysterious murder. This is a great book and I bet you'll love it too if you read it. It may seem boring at the beginning but hang in there. I thought the book was boring at first. I had to read it for summer reading and I thought it was going to be a long book, but its the best book I've ever read.
Rating: Summary: Best Mystery Ever Review: WHAT IT IS ABOUT: It begins with ten people receiving strange letters inviting them to a weekend of fun on a strange island. Once they all get there they become uneasy about the missing host who is unknown. Before they are even aware what is about to happen they are slowly killed off one by one in odd ways. The remaining ones play detective to try to find the killer until they discover how precise the killer is. Little do they know what they have gotten into. Read this book to find out what happens. HOW I FELT: This was my first Agatha Christie book I have read. I had heard many good things about it. When I gave it a try I was very surprised. It was better than I expected. It was one of the best mystery books I have ever read and I read a lot of mystery books. I would definitely recommened this book to people who love to be challenged in solving murder cases or who just love mystery stories. You can try to solve this mystery along with all the other characters in the book. I particularly liked how the author characterizes each person. She shows what each person thinks as well as what he or she thought about the other characters. I feel this book illustrates how some people take the law into their own hands. It also shows how weak the trust between humans can be.
Rating: Summary: And Then There Were None Review: I was assigned to read this book over my summer vacation. At first I didn't really want to read because it was vacation time. I started the book with little interest, but wow what a great book, or at least I thought so. It took me a little bit to get into the book, but as the story line quickly progressed after the introduction of the ten main characters, the mystery had me glued to my reading chair. The book is not just one mystery but three mysteries in one, who is the murder, who will die next, and the mysterious past of the main characters. A mysterious person named U.N. Owen invited ten strangers to an island. One by one they were all mysteriously killed. Each murder mysteriously follows the lines of a poem that is introduced in the beginning of the book. The only murder suspects are each of the invited ten guests. Each guest tells the story of their past and one by one they die. Everyone suspects each other and ciaos unfolds as each guest wonders who will die next. Agatha Christie sets up each situation, which probably would never happen in real life, and makes it happen right before your eyes. Excitement, mystery, suspense then fill the storyline right to the end. I recommend this book to anyone who likes a good mystery and likes to solve puzzles.
Rating: Summary: This Book Will Make You Be On The Egde Of Your Seat Review: This book was sheer suspense. It was impossible to put down. When I realized what a great plot there was, I could not resist.Ten guests are mailed anonymous invitations from one mysterious person to an island. Little did they know that the host would be a psychotic murderer. As time passes, the guests learn a little more about themselves and what they did in the past. Those things in the past, being committed murders! One by one, the guests are killed off until THERE WERE NONE. But how is this possble, you wonder... You feel the same intensity as the guests in the story and feel like you're really there. You can feel the sweat drip off their cheeks as they survey their surroundings in fear. You can taste their dry mouths as they await to discover who will die next. The thing that makes this book so exciting is that you are trying to discover who the murderer is, and when you think and know who it is...you're wrong. In the end, the reader will be left with a jigsaw puzzle and will still not know who the killer is (that's why the epilogue is vital). I gave this book such a high rating because it was so well written. It was well written because during the whole scheme of things, you were always having different suspicions and trying to look at it from everybody's point of view. It's like a Sherlock Homes mystery, except this one is not so easy to solve. The plot is believable and the characters seem real enough to make you thinks it's possible. But in the end, you wonder how those murders that were committed, were actually possible.
Rating: Summary: Good Book Review: I read this book for my High School Summer Reading. Although I was relunctant, I chose this one because it sounded better than any of the other ones. I am now glad that I did choose this one. It starts out boring by introducing the characters one by one. It talks about how they got to the island and why they were invited. By reading this part I thought that I would hate it. But, it got better as they reached the island and people started to die. The book is about ten uncaught murders who are lured onto an island by a strange man. As their darkest secrets about their horrible past are reavealed, they start dying one by one. At first they think that the deaths are accidents or even suicides. Then they believe that there is someone else on the island with them, but after looking around the island, they realize that they are the only ones there. So they begin to suspect each other. Every one is a suspect here. I really liked this book and would recomend it to anybody who like mysteries. It kept me guessing the whole time.
Rating: Summary: Good Book Review: I had a choice of 3 books to read for my high shcool summer reading: Dandelion Wine, Ordinary People, and And Then There Were None. I chose And Then There Were None because of the title and what it said on the back of the book. The book starts out by introducing all ten of the characters. This part was very boring because there was no action. I talks about how they got invited to the island. Although this part may seem boring, it gets better as they reach the island and people start to die. This book is about ten uncaught murders who are lured to an Island off the Devon coast. As the people start to reveal their secrets, they also start to die, one by one. At first they suspect that it was an accident, then they suspect that there is someone else on the small island with them, but as they search the island and find that there is nobody else, they begin to suspect each other. Every one is a suspect. I really enjoyed reading this book and would recomend it to other people. It kept me guessing the whole time.
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.
