3.0

it is so disappointing to be reading this book and come across racist comments. it ruins any enjoyment i was feeling. 

aside from that, this was a less enjoyable Christie because I was able to guess the plot in the first 30ish pages. however, i really enjoyed the last 20 pages where we get the interactions between Poirot and Jacqueline after the murderer is revealed.

Pensé que me iba a gustar más, pero no ha sido así. Después de haber leído “Diez Negritos” tenía las expectativas altas con este libro y la verdad es que me sobran muchísimas páginas y se me hizo bastante lento en algunas partes. Ha sido entretenido pero esta vez sí ha sido bastante predecible.

"See you, I recognize my own weaknesses. It has been said of me that I like to make a case difficult. This solution that you put to me - it is too simple, too easy. I cannot feel that it really happened. And yet, that may be the sheer prejudice on my part."
I had a lot of fun reading this book. I also really enjoyed the mystery aspect of it. I watched the 1978 movie before reading the book, and while I enjoyed both, I wasn't expecting the movie to be so close to the book. (I only accept the 1978 movie, especially since I refuse to watch the 2020 version.) There were a lot of moments while reading where I was like "I remember that!"

My next Spooktober read to finished by now. Tidak se-plot twist buku-buku oma Agatha Christie lainnya. Malah terkesan cliche and I don't like Linnet Ridgeway character either. Tipe-tipe orang kaya yang bisa aja berkhianat ke siapapun; termasuk sahabat sendiri.
