Rating: Summary: Knibb High Football Rules! Review: I thought this book was really boring. It kept saying the same things over and over. The same situations were played over and over. I didnt like it very much and i wouldnt recommend it to anyone.
Rating: Summary: A MASTERPIECE OF MYSTERY STORYTELLING Review: Agatha Christie is the master of the mystery novel. Period. There is no question in my mind that she is the epitome of what mystery storytelling is about.'And Then There Were None' is, I believe, her all time greatest novel. Though with well over 70 novels in print, it is hard to read them all. I love the way her charectors develope in this novel, in the short time they inhabit Indian Island. The premis is simple. Ten strangers sent to an island for a luxorious get away. Mysteriously, however, one by one, they all begin to disapear...who did it? You'll have to read this wonderful novel to find out! Five out of Five
Rating: Summary: Ten Little Indians, One Big Mystery Review: I picked up this book looking for a quick read for my reading project. This book was amazing! Who would ever think of a plot like this! Ten people are herded to a deserted island by the Owens. Who would ever suspect that no one would get off alive?

Rating: Summary: *An Awesome Murder Mystery* Review: Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None is the story of ten strangers who are invited to Indian Island by the mysterious U.N. Owen. The mystery starts once the guests arrive and find that Mr.Owen himself is nowhere to be found. Although I usually don't read mysteries (I read this one for school.) I really enjoyed this book. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes murder mysteries that leave the blood and gore out and focus mostly on the plot. The characters (all ten of them) were so realistic I couldn't help but hope that certain characters would be U.N. Owen's next victims. The only thing that I didn't like about this book is the fact I had already been able to guess who U.N. Owen was by the end of the book. I would recommend this book to anyone even if you have already seen the movie. ( The plot varies a little between the book and movie.)
Rating: Summary: Don't miss it !!! Review: A masterpiece. I've read loads of Agatha Christie's books but this is definitely the best. It's not just the plot that is involving, but also the style itself captures you and sticks you to the armchair. So, cancel all your appointments, sit down confortably and start reading: you won't be able to close the book until everyone in it is dead. And you'll still have not a clue about the murderer. Don't worry,anyway, cos "good old aunt" Agatha will sort everything out and you'll be astonished by the solution.
Rating: Summary: My thoughts on "then there where none" Review: I fisrt read this book when i was in 8th grade in my Reading class. I didnt know about the book then and when i first started reading it i absolutely loved it! Agatha Christy was an amazing wrighter, i read a couple of her books and this was far by the best book i have ever read in my life. I am reading the book now (3/3/01) this being my 87th time reading it. I love the book more and more each time i read it. I highly recommend reading this book. If you are the type that LOVES murder and mystery and wont know the killer till the end of the book then you will love this book.

Rating: 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...?
Rating: 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.
