Rating: Summary: When you find out who did it, you'll kick yoursel! Review: This is an excellent book. A masterpiece of crime fiction. If you always wanted to be a detective, here's your chance. The clues are there. This is a book that once you pick it up, you'll struggle to put it down. I must say though, I found the ending a bit morbid.
Rating: Summary: The Murder of Roger Ackroyd: A Review Review: Christie's "The Murder of Roger Ackroyd" leaves you both breathless and puzzled. There is little action to recommend in the middle, so it can be a boring read at certain points. You want so badly to know WHO. As with all of Christie's mysteries, everyone is a suspect, and if you don't pay acute attention, you'll miss the clues. The ending was a shocker for me. I highly recommend this book, despite it's tedious middle.
Rating: Summary: The most original mystery novel of all time Review: Certainly Agatha Christie set a milestone when she wrote this novel. No one will ever be able to write another one in this way without risking being called a copyright violator, and it hadn't been done before either. This is a brilliant novel, and its ending is as shocking as it is unexpected. I dare you to read it!
Rating: Summary: Great book, but BE CAREFUL... Review: This is a wonderful book--one of Agatha Christie's best, and justifiably famous. This was one of the last Christie mysteries I read, and I was mortified to find that I figured out who the murderer was early on. Because of all the hype surrounding this book and its...well, unique elements (I don't want to give anything away), I found the book somewhat spoiled for me. If you haven't read this book, I urge you NOT to read any reviews of it, because they do inadvertantly spoil it.
Rating: Summary: A great book! Review: This was one of the best Agatha Christie books I've read so far. The beginning was good and as soon as the murder was committed, I really wanted to know who did it. I read most of the book in one day because I really wanted to get to the ending. If you read this book, once you find out who the murderer was, you will be completely shocked! This book had a great solution and you should definitely read it.
Rating: Summary: High-class mystery writing: superb Review: ...and again I did not foresee in any way the ending of an Agatha Christie story. This story is really interesting, and is one of the few mystery stories that deserves a thorough rereading. I was astounded when the name of the killer was revealed (of course, Poirot once more does the goods). Very highly recommended, both for fans of the genre and for those who are new to this type of story.
Rating: Summary: A Great Mystery Story....very good! Review: This book is definetly one of Christie's finest. The whole plot to the story keeps the reader alert at all times. I read this book last year, and it was very good! If you haven't read any of Agatha Christie's books, then start here. This book will keep you alert and aware at all times. Read this book! You'll love it if you love Mysteries! 1
Rating: Summary: A GOOD BOOK, BRILLO! Review: I must say, a good book indeed! I read this last year, and was completely in the blues of the mystery! Agatha Christie twists the way the reader thinks, and puts a not so clear picture in your head, only to strike back! A good novel. if you haven't read Agatha Christie, start here!
Rating: Summary: Kick Yourself Review: This was one of the first Christie books I read, and I definitely got hooked to her books after reading TMoRA. If you like the feeling of wanting to kick yourself in surprise and delight and wonder by the end of a story, read this book faithfully from beginning to end.
Rating: Summary: Wow Review: I have to admit that though I love Christie novels, I can be pretty tough on them. But this one was really breath-taking. The murderer's identity hits you like a ton of bricks, and Agatha Christie thinks up such a thrilling, original solution to an original book that many writers could only dream of. Don't neccessary judge by what other people may say about it's being boring. They don't like the intriguing "death in the parlor" type books, which is fine, but I can only say one thing- I 've never been less bored in my life!
