A review by liz_mcc
Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie
2.0
I had a really hard time getting through this book and almost gave up on it on multiple occasions; however, I think a lot of it had to do with the audio book version I listened to. I like Dan Stevens from Downton Abbey and was excited to see he read a version but MAN he does annoying voices for every single character!
Even without the voices, I think I would have found Poirot and Bouc insufferable. Poirot comes off as a less-interesting Sherlock Holmes and Bouc comes across as a bumbling idiot who's there to make Poirot look smart.
The solution to the mystery is ultimately interesting and fun, which was the book's saving grace.
