Review - Daniel

This was a very engaging story from start to end. Although the deaths may have been predictable from start to end if you know the rhyme of the ten little Indians the story definitely keep you reading. Agatha Christie does a good job at portraying how people can turn against each other and not work together. If the characters would have stuck together instead of pointing the finger at everyone put themselves they could have made it off the island, instead they all ended up dead because they couldn’t trust each other. I have no dislikes about this book, as it is very well written and many other people would agree. The consistent one death per chapter keeps you reading as to how the next person might go, because even though the deaths followed the rhyme they had their own twist or the character that was invited to the island just fit the description of the death perfectly.

I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in murder/mystery novels. This is one mystery however that leaves you guessing who could have committed the murders as the real killer is never revealed and it’s kind of a cliffhanger, but from reading the book it is easy to come to the really only logical explanation.
