Summary: Title
Review: This is an excellent book. There is only one slight problem - the author never intended to call it "And then there were none" or "10 little Indians". For the sake of political correctness one tries to rewrite history.

Summary: And Then There Were None, I think
Review: This book may have just been Agatha Christies best novel ever written. This book is sure to keep you on your toes the whole time that you are reading it. I am sure that you will not be able to put it down. In the book ten characters are brought to a place called Indian Island for a weekend, by a host who they have not a single idea who it may be. Who is said to have been a millonaire and he is nowhere to be found. One by one all of the guests start to die, because someone is killing them. But whoever the host may be is trying to pin it on someone different every time. And one by one they are all dead before the weekend is over. If you like a good mystery then this one is sure to give you what you want.

Summary: One got in Chancery
Review: Ten people are summoned by letter to Indian Island off the Devon coast. All are accused by a voice on a gramaphone recording of murder, all crimes which for one reason or another escaped punishment by the law. They are trapped on the island and since this is a Christie novel the murders begin and with a vengeance. There are little indian figurines in the house, each time someone is killed a little indian
figure, yes there are ten of them, disappears.
Every murder follows, in order,
the nursery rhyme "Ten Little Indians", which reads:
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 in 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.This classic novel vibrates with themes of guilt, conscience, and justice. "And Then There Were None" is one of the strongest mysteries in the genre.

Summary: INGENIOUS
Review: Agatha Christie has set a new precedent for murder-mystery novels. She has redefined suspence, and created a new level of unpredictable endings. This novel is the most thrilling story I have ever endulged in. The plot is classic, with a creative twist. Using the common nursery rhyme "Ten Little Indians" added almost a child-like atmosphere to the gruesome depths of the story. The finale includes the most unexpected twist since the ending of M. Night Shamalyan's movie "The Sixth Sense."

Summary: and then there were none, or maybe one
Review: I rate this book as a four because it is excellent and very creative. Agatha Christie is an excellent author and to be able to think of stories, such as this one, is mind boggling. I especially like how the murders go along with a nursery rhyme in the book, how neat! The only thing I did not like about the story was it is almost unreal. The way everything worked out for the murderer was so perfect it seems almost unbelievable. Such as getting everyone to meet at the same time and how easily his crimes follow the nursery rhyme. The fact that it seems so unreal could be a good thing because the twist at the end is so surprising, I could not believe it. The killer was the last person I expected. Agatha Christie is definitely talented.

Summary: Logically coherent and entertaining too
Review: The queen of mystery writing deserves her reputation. And this is her best book. I have read and reread it and have yet to find a flaw. Originally published as Ten Little Indians for reasons which will become apparent as you read it, this little gem should be read by all who aspire to write novels. The characters, the landscape, the background, the build up of action, the fantastic action -- all leave me breathless as well as enthrauled with the perfect narrative tone and control exhibited in this masterpiece. If you haven't read it yet, you are in for a treat. It is way better than the movie, the play, or any of her other works including The Seven Dials Mystery, Three Blind Mice, Witness for the Prosecution and Murder on the Orient Express.

Summary: ..."AND THEN THERE WERE NONE."
Review: I am sure that in her own right Agatha Christie is a great novelist. However, after reading AND THEN THERE WERE NONE, I wish that there actually were none, of her novels that is. The book starts off with ten people receiving invitations from an unknown man to visit and isolated, uninhabited island. The book gives a brief discription of the characters then they arrive at Indian Island. The ten then start hearing voices telling of killings that they were never found guilty of. Then they start being killed off one by one. No one knows who the murderer is, but as the novel wears on it is predictable as to who the murderer is. The book never really caught my attention too much and I found it easy to put the book down and talk bad about Agatha. I did like the underline meaning of the book though, which is how mans guilt can eventually wear him down. I just wish Agatha would have made the content more invigorating.

Summary: Super Nice Book !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: I enjoyed reading this great mystery-murder novel by Agatha Christie. She keeps you in suspense through out the whole book and makes you want to keep reading on. I recommend it to everyone, as long as they can read, even if they do not enjoy mystery novels.

Summary: And then there were none
Review: Let me start off by saying I thought the book was an overall good mystery. The characters were nicely developed, and the plot was quickly laid out in front of you.
With all these good things going for the story I did believe the story had one major setback, it lacked detail and depth. The first few pages tell that the characters will go to the island, and then after that people immeadiately start to die. I think a little more building up to the murders would have helped me out a little bit more in reading the story.
I recommend this book to anyone who needs a quick, intriguing book to read.

Summary: Jennifer Hardin
Review: I just finished reading Agatha Christie's novel And Then There Were None. In this book, ten people are invited to Indian Island, but are unclear who the invitations are from. When they are all in the dining room, there is a recording played that talks about each of the guests. The recording mentions the crime that each person has committed. They are all found guilty.
I was in suspence through the whole book. There were clues throughout the story with the nursery rhyme, "Ten Little Indians" that was posted in each of the guests rooms for them to read and think about. Each person is killed the way each verse describes. The characters try to stay together, but at night each character retires to their room and lock themselves into the room. They try to discover who the killer is, but can not come to a conclusion. The killer eventually confesses but is not caught.
I really enjoyed this book and would recommend this to anyone who loves a good murder mystery.
