What is there left to say?

This may be the greatest mystery ever written. Among Christie's books I prefer the elegant solution of Murder on the Orient Express, but the atmosphere and suspense of this book are greater - people being picked off one by one on a remote island was a great conceit and as you read you will yourself to read faster.

A great place for a novice mystery reader to start.

Book better than the game.

I recently played a computer game based on this book. I was quite surprised by the ending, however, as it was different from the computer game and much more inventive.

great read

very entertaining mystery, suspenseful and engaging - you are trying to figure it out all along, and then the ending just blows you away. (Well it did me, anyhow.) Lots of fun - great way to kill some time on a lazy day. Don't read it when you're really busy though or you won't be able to put it down and you won't be able to get anything else done!

One of Agatha Christie's Finest Mystery Novels

I have been a life long fan of Agatha Christie's writing and her storytelling abilities. I first read "And The There Were None" several years ago now.... I thought "And The There Were None" was a great mystery novel then as I do now. In fact, I feel "And The There Were None" is one of Dame Christie's best novels ever written for the following reasons:

* Great Storytelling By Dame Agatha Christie.
* Quick Read That Is Difficult To Put Down.
* Interesting Plot, Which Takes 10 Strangers & Lures Them All To An Island Where Killer Kills All Ten Strangers Off One By One.
* All Ten Victims Are Stranded On The Island With No Means Of Leaving The Island Or Communicating With The Outside World, Which Intensifies The Storyline.
* Lots of Red Herrings & Misdirection Keeps The Reader Guessing As To Who The Killer Really Is & How The Murders Are Being Executed.
* Great Ending.

A bit dated, but still decent

This book came free with the PC game of the same name (it was originally titled Ten Little Indians) and even though playing the game (specifically, playing the end trailer) does give away the mystery, it was still a good solid read. Though you don't see as much into each of the characters as you might expect, I don't think story is hurt by it. I hesitate to say that it's not a character driven story, because in a way it really is, but the main focus is how the characters interact with one another - not... who they are on the inside, if that makes sense. And though I disagree with a lot of the utterly sexist clap-trap spouted in the book by the male characters, well, you have to remember that it's a much older book! Times have indeed changed. I wouldn't say this tops my list of Agatha Christie books, but it's not bad.
