El libro en sí está bastante bien, pero se me ha hecho un poco bola. Comparándolo con “Muerte en el Nilo” (que lo leí el mes pasado) me parece mucho mejor este, pero me temo que todos los libros de Poirot son básicamente iguales, cambiando de ambientación y personajes. 
Un poco enrevesado pero entretenido, recomendado para quien quiera empezar con libros de misterio. 
Aunque he tardado mil años en leerme este libro, comprendo porqué es uno de los clásicos de Agatha Christie, pero para mi gusto nada se compara con “Diez Negritos”, que es increíble.

I'm not the biggest fan of murder mysteries in general, but this is definetly a classic. I liked the pacing of the character interview section and the end twist was honestly great

 
and hilarious. These twelve people got together and said fuck this creep. Good for them and good for everyone not involved for just deciding to let it go.

Not going to lie, I watched the movie first. And I really enjoy the story but reading the book was not as enjoyable for me. I just wasn't getting into it as much. Still, would recommend though if you are into the vibes.

I was actually worried that since there is a lot of Poriot novels that there would be some existing storyline in here that I was jumping into but thankfully not. I suppose the only common theme of the series is the detective himself.

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.
