Summary: This one will stun you
Review: Sneaky, sneaky Agatha Christie! She took a lot of abuse when this book was first published because of the controversial ending. You're either going to love it or hate it. I say, the rules can't always apply! Agatha broke the "acceptable mystery ending rules" with her two greatest books, And Then There Were None and Murder on the Orient Express, and she REALLY broke them in this, her third greatest masterpiece. Unfortunately, even if you do like the ending, you won't take any pleasure from the discovery of whodunnit.

Summary: A MASTERPIECE
Review: THE MURDER OF ROGER ACKROYD is perhaps the best Agatha Christie book I have ever read .Although A MURDER IS ANNOUNCED , THE MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR AT STYLES and AND THEN THERE WERE NONE were also good books the plot behind THE MURDER OF ROGER ACKROYD was absorbing and intriguing . It is the kind of book a person can read again and again and never get bored.

Summary: AMAZING!
Review: Having read most of her books, Agatha Christie still outwits me. Very seldom one can guess the final outcome of her books and this is one of the very typical specimens. Actually, all her books offer surprises and this particular one offers nothing less. I would say it's another masterpiece of hers though the revelation of the real murderer actually saddens my heart.(Yes, very much....)I agree with one of the reviews that say the best books of Agatha Christie are And Then There Were None and The Murder On The Orient Express. (Try The Secret Adversary also).But the reviewer made a mistake by saying The Murder of Roger Ackroyd is the first book of Poirot; actually it's not, that should be The Mystery Affair at Styles.

Summary: Brilliant
Review: This book stars Agatha Christie's most famous detective, Hercule Poirot. He, as always was the best character in all of this excellent story.In England, this is one of Agatha Christie's most famous works because of the shock we all get when Hercule Poirot unveils the murderer of Roger Ackroyd because of who did it. This book is one of Agatha Christie's greatest (In my opinion they are all great) and it makes an excellent read for anyone wanting to read a really, really, really good book.

Summary: Great plot, ok detection
Review: This is the first Christie I have ever read, and I should preface this review by saying I'm relatively new to the genre. The plot was great, and while going through the book one will inevitably wonder who committed the crime. But I think the ending is pretty easy to guess around Chapter 23 as the characters gradually reveal what they know, but when it hits you it is quite a shock. Complaints that her writing is not advanced should be ignored in my opinion, I don't like suffocating writing (example, Poe). The detection in my opinion is not great though - Sherlock Holmes actually seemed to figure things out, Poirot seemed to get lucky more often than not. He has ideas that pop into his head, and upon further investigation they prove to be accurate, but he didn't actually deduce all that much. Still, a great read for the plot itself.

Summary: One of the best Agatha Christie novel
Review: This is one of the best AC's novels (along with 'And then there were none' and 'Murder on Orient Express'. This is the book in which Poirot makes his first appearence. A must read (and a must keep) for all AC's fans.

Summary: A fun read from the master
Review: I had read most all of Christie's books before I read this one and I still didn't see the ending coming. It's not Shakespeare, but this is a great work of detective fiction and well worth the read. I've read it several times!

Summary: a good book
Review: The Murder of Roger Ackroyd is an interesting, and creative book by Agatha Cristie. I consider the Murder of Roger Ackroyd one of her best mystery books. The main character, Hercule Poirot solves the case of the murder of Mr. Ackroyd. With the help of clues, and as Hercule says, "his little gray cells," he puts the pieces together discovers the most unpredictable murderer. When Cristie reveals the murderer, it leaves you dumbfounded. It's a great mystery and very enjoyable.

Summary: This is a suspense filled and captivating book.
Review: The Murder of Roger Ackroyd byAgatha Christie A Book Review by Niles Benjamin As usual, Christie has provided excellent plot and suspense to this story. This is a very good Hercule Poirot novel where he uses his wit and cunning knowledge of the facts to solve the case. This book lacks literary merit, though. It is mostly a suspense book with a surprising ending. She does not use any writing talent to draw you into this book, but uses her ability to create excellent plots to draw you into this book. She uses hard detective fiction to create some very interesting questions in your mind. I think that this is a very good book because you will be challenged by the clues, but will not be terribly amazed by the ending. If you are a hard core detective fiction reader and do not care about literary merit, this will be a very interesting, challenging, and fun book for you to read.
