Loading... And Then There Were None (1939)by Agatha Christie
 LauraMoore | Jun 4, 2013 |    tauruseducation | Jun 4, 2013 | One of Christie's best. While reading it, I could not help but think it would make an excellent movie directed by the Coen Brothers. (  ) dgmillo | Jun 2, 2013 | Wow, it's been quite a while since I've read any Agatha Christie, and now I'm wondering why! I thoroughly enjoyed And Then There Were None. The plot moved quickly, and the story was suspenseful from beginning to end. I didn't expect the book to end the way it did, but loved the ending! (  ) dukefan86 | May 29, 2013 | You can read my full review at Quieted Waters. Darkness permeates every page of this tale, as you likely guessed from the plot synopsis. Each character struggles with their sordid past, while outwardly justifying themselves and denying guilt. The ten attempt to socialize and dine with one another, despite the fact that they know one of their number intends to murder them all. (  ) QuietedWaters | May 22, 2013 |
 It is the most baffling mystery that Agatha Christie has ever written, and if any other writer has ever surpassed it for sheer puzzlement the name escapes our memory. We are referring, of course, to mysteries that have logical explanations, as this one has. It is a tall story, to be sure, but it could have happened.  The mystery is foolproof. The solution is fair. It all fits together at the end.

Agatha Christie def. has a great writing style, and the characters and the writing were both addictive. I know Agatha is known to be the Queen of Mystery and I guess I wanted more mystery from this story, instead, the ending kinda felt left open and not having a consise and solid answer, but more of a :take what you will" from it kind of resolution, and I had expected and wanted more. I felt like I saw all the twists and turns coming which in my opinion a great mystery makes you think something's going to happen, but then takes you in the complete and opposite direction.
I definitely want to read more from Agatha Christie, and like I said, I did enjoy the book, and It was a quick read, I just amped it up to be something that fell a bit short for me in the end. (
