La primera novela que leo de Agatha Christie y woooow, se que ella escribió varios detectives pero elegí empezar con Hércules poirot y wooow x2, su sentido del humor es increible, de verdad me saco unas dos carcajadas, y eso es algo que no me pasa seguido.

Yo sospecho de todo el mundo hasta el último minuto

Literal en la mayor parte del libro yo no tenía la menor idea de como iba a acabar, si ospechaba de adonde la autora nos iba a llevar, PERO LA MANERA EN LA QUE LO EXPLICÓ Y CONECTO TODOOO WOOW x10000

Lo malo de todo esto es que Agatha escribió un montón de casos y ahora quiero leer y tener todos, jajaja¨t

A classic for a reason, I suppose! A few questionable lines due to the time it was written, but. The atmosphere was so good and all of the characters were fun to hear from. The voices from the narrator were excellent.

How is this only my second Agatha Christie book? The first being a required read for my middle school English class??? That's an abomination really, I deprived myself of good mysteries for WAY too long. This book took a second to get me fully enraptured. When I watch mystery films my mind is totally blank until the ending is revealed, I don't try and guess the perpetrator or understand the intricacies of the plot. It's honestly against my usual academic character but this book actually had me invested enough to try and guess, even though I was incredibly wrong at every turn. I could've never foreseen this conclusion, Christie is a genius. How she wove a plot containing such multifaceted characters together this well is beyond me. Mystery writers are amongst the most creative people because so many elements are happening at once, and they still have to create a plot different from anything else done before. I will certainly read another one of her books in the future, maybe I'll even revisit And Then There Were None.

Also love the fact that I was able to put my 6.5 years of French education to use as rudimentary as my grasp of the language is.

(Just watched the 2017 movie adaptation and was severely disappointed by it. I’m so glad I read the book first because the movie would’ve entirely ruined it for me)

This book threw me in a loop to be honest. Major Sherlock vibes and all that compared to other Christie's work that I've read so far, gives off the if you weren't Poirot you would be damned in this situation is all I'm saying.

Really fast-paced, can certainly be finished in a day. Also, I wouldn't recommend it as your first book to read by Agatha, yes it's supposed to be groundbreaking for the genre but with some of the parts stretched out as hell, you're better off with Roger Ackroyd.

A very well constructed mystery that still packs a punch even when you know the "solution". I thought Christie did an excellent job laying out how Poirot figured out that

all of the inhabitants of the train car were connected

- groundwork that's laid as early as the first chapter and with quite a payoff.
