This was my first taste of Agatha Christie. I thought it was a really enjoyable murder mystery. It kept me guessing until the end (which I didn't see coming), and the characters were all well drawn out and interesting. Overall, I loved it and it makes me want to read more by her! ( )

A great book by a great author, I read this book my senior year in high school. It was one of those you don’t want to put it down till you found out who did it.

It is a mystery with all kinds of twist and turns, every time you think you got it figured out there is another twist followed by another turn all taking place on an small secluded island. ( )

Christie at her best! I love this book. It is gripping with just enough twists and turns so that when you think you know what is going on BOOM! you turn out to be completely wrong. Great for anyone that loves mystery or wants to try it out for the first time. ( )

This was one of the first Christie books I read - I was intrigued by my parents' discussing a stage version and dug the book out of their capacious shelves.

The book is a period piece and a true delight, albeit a trifle bleak. The young woman who seems to be a typical Christie heroine and the love interest, a typical Christie adventurer, are not what they seem.

She takes a group of her own stereotypes and proceeds to astound with them as this country weekend turns into something else entirely.

I have seen at least three film versions of this book, one of the most embarrassing of which was set in Africa, probably one of those highly subsidised by South Africa back in the apartheid days. The films have all suffered from attempting to have a 'happy ending' rather than remaining faithful to the original story. ( )

The book is very uinstense and interesing. I think this book had successfully cateched the reader 's attention by the opening. IN the process of story-telling, Agatha had had her plot developed over a nursery rhyme. This is very organized and grabbing, as people woud always wonder what will happen to the next victim. Also the setting was on a remote island with only the guests who are condemned, therefore the killer would reveal himself as more and more people die. Therefore I think this book is very interesing.
