Book Reviews of And Then There Were None
Book Review: Classic Agatha Christie - One of her best!
Summary: 5 Stars
I first read this book when I was in early high school and it made an impression on me as a "perfect" mystery (at that time I read it under the title, "Ten Little Indians"). I have re-read it many times since then and it is still one of my favorite mysteries of all time! Christie wove the details of this story together elegantly and I loved how each detail fit perfectly into the overall story. The characters were diverse and believable and the murders (while not gory) made me glance over my shoulder a few times as I read along. I love that the "mystery" is finally explained at the end and each time I read it, I still flip back after I finish to see if it all "fits." Love this book!Book Review: Fantastic Mystery...
Summary: 5 Stars
As someone who didn't particularly like reading when growing up (thanks to a 6th grade teacher who required us to read a book and write a book report every week) I have found myself going back and reading the classics I missed out on when I was younger (now 43). And Then There Were None is am amazing mystery and a wonderful read. It reads quickly, or maybe it just feels that way because Christie draws you in and holds your attention throughout the entire book. Truthfully, I had a hard time putting this book down and looked forward to the next chance I had to pick it up again. If you're looking for an amazing tale that's easy to understand, but hard to put down, this is your book!!!Book Review: Don't Read Before Your Island Vacation
Summary: 5 Stars
I had never read this classic, so my girlfriend bought me a copy to read for our vacation on a small island. I basically read through it in one sitting and now I understand why Agatha Christie was one of the all-time greats. The story is a real nail-biter, and the ending is stunning; and everything in between is just about perfect. The only thing I'd say, in comparing this to other books I've been reading, is that Christie introduces A LOT of characters in the first few chapters, almost too many to keep track of. I've noticed that more modern books don't do that. I wonder if people had longer attention spans back in Christie's day.Book Review: Island of Death
Summary: 5 Stars
"And Then There Were None" by Agatha Christie, © 1939, 1940, renewed 1967.
This was a very strange story. Of course, Ms. Christie is very good at writing, but to imagine this tale is impressive. It is a simple enough story: ten people are invited to spend some time on an island; they find a poem, a take off of the 'ten little Indians'; then they are all bumped off, one by one. You realize that these people are the subjects of the lines in the poem, but how to find out who is killing them is the question. The answer is supplied, fortuitously, by a letter in a bottle found later. It was a really amazing story.
Book Review: Classic murder mystery that still haunts
Summary: 5 Stars
And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie is one of the greatest murder mysteries ever written. Putting aside the various updates of racially offensive wording within the pages (including the original title), this story remains a timeless classic.
Ten guests are invited to a secluded island vacation home, all under false pretenses. When the island's mysterious host never appears and people begin dying one by one, the remaining guests realize they are caught in a sinister trap.
Once you begin reading you won't stop until you discover whodunit.
