Despite all the good reviews on this book, I found it extremely disappointing. It was really hard to keep track of what was going on in the plot-line and I didn’t care what was going on to the characters at all. I only really liked how the author added their madness deepening.

The first detective story I ever read was Anthony Horowitz's I Know What You Did Last Wednesday, which directly spoofs the plot of this novel, so it was inevitable that And Then There Were None would hold a special place in my heart. This is one of Christie's darker, more misanthropic novels, lacking the familiar comforting presence of Poirot or Marple. Ten strangers, each with a guilty conscience, trapped on an island, with an unknown killer picking them off one at a time. It's the ultimate locked room mystery, and there's no escape, as the tension, paranoia, and suspicion all swell to an unforgettable crescendo.

This is the first and one of th best Christie book I ever read

For some simple crime fiction this book really has a page tuner plot. The story is fast but not hurry.

The way the characters turn insane by time other characters die is amazing

Fun thriller, 2 and a half hours to read.

This is a locked-room mystery turned up a notch - people keep dying and you know that the murderer is one of the group. The paranoia is excellent

The tension mounted by the knowledge of what is going to happen, and the hint of the rhyme is very good

I found the reveal a little trite, but then, I think it was always going to be
