Summary: Not So Good
Review: The book is not that good if you compare it to her other works. Okay, so the ending did surprise me but it was quite a slow book..If you are a Christie fan like me, you'd still go ahead and buy the book!

Summary: Another very enjoyable book by Mrs Christie
Review: This book is extremely readable, and, while the case itself is not one of Agatha Christie's most complex, the denouement is definately a shock and Miss Marple is delightful all the way through. The characters in this novel are not typical of the Miss Marple books: Marina Gregg, a famous film actress, is the most luminous character, hardly a likely addition to St Mary Mead. This novel can also be seen as an interesting social document, for we are informed of all the changes to which the village has been subjected in the 1960s, including "the development". However, the Marple atmosphere is retained almost intact, and the novel does not disappoint. The ending is interesting and unusual, too, though the reader would not be advised to attempt to work it out for himself, as clues are not in abundance. Not quite classic Christie, though as enjoyable as always.

Summary: Good Book
Review: This books was a great book. Not one of her bests but still great. It was a little slow in the beginning. The murderer I never would have guessed (like most of her books.) I read The Murder of Roger Ackroyd this year in 6th grade, and loved it. She got me hooked. Like I said, great but not one of her bests.

Summary: A PLEASANT MYSTERY
Review: This Christie mystery is really more simple and pleasant than some. The motive to the murder was legitimate and you feel almost sympathy with the murderer. The conclusion is summed up in a few words--nothing too complicated like One, Two, Buckle My Shoe or others. And you needn't feel confused or tied up in a tangle of evidence and clues--those are few and far between. If you are a fan of the sinister or like your mysteries dark and complicated, this simply isn't your cup of tea. I have to admit, although I don't always like the simple, pleasant mysteries, that Christie knew what she was doing. Can you see Miss Marple chasing after a serial killer across continents wielding an assault rifle and going down in hand-to-hand combat? No, never. So Christie was wise and keeps her characters in their natural habitats doing realistic things. That way she knew her mysteries and her detectives would receive respect and credulity--quite important for the success of her books.

Summary: THIS IS A GREAT BOOK!!!
Review: This is an excellent book by Agatha Christie. I read And Then There Were None and I thought that was the best book I had ever read. After reading The Mirror Crack'd I have changed my mind. A great boild up with a shocking ending.

Summary: The Mirror Crack'd from Side to Side
Review: This novel features Miss Marple in her very late years. The world around her is changing. This is one of only two Christie novels where I was able to guess the identity of the murderer. It's a very good murder mystery, but it could have been a better Miss Marple mystery. The best parts of the book are when Miss Marple is on the spot. Unfortunately, I almost began to wonder if Miss Marple would be in this novel at all. She left her house no more than three times and was therefore decidedly shoved into the background. The parts without her were rather dull, dry, and far too abundant. I found myself rushing more to see if I'd solved the mystery correctly rather than out of any sense of real enjoyment.

Summary: MEDIOCRE
Review: While not a complete waste, this isn't the best of her novels. However, you won't be disappointed with the usual mind-blowing ending....you'll never guess it!
