Summary: A window to another life
Comment: I randomly picked this book in a library - I was looking for something to read and this seemed interesting enough. I had no idea how captive this would be. Agatha Christie doesn't write, she paints beautiful portraits with her words. From the moment I picked up this book it was impossible to put down. The way she talks of her life (and of course, her life itself) is truly enchanting. I don't think I could ever do this book justice, but I assure you - time spent on reading this book will be time well spent.

Rating: 5
Summary: Excellent Read
Comment: Agatha Christie's, An Autobiography, is an excellent read. Unlike most books of this type, it is not chronological in the true sense of the word. It's almost as if Dame Agatha is talking to you personally about her life. She jumps from one topic to another much as one would in an ordinary conversation. Thoroughly entertaining!

Rating: 5
Summary: Great life story adds insights to her famous novels
Comment: I'm an avid reader and this is one of my very favorite, treasured books. It's quite long, yet I take joy in re-reading it and look forward to the next time I enjoy it. A rare, candid, unpretentious insight into a life. After reading it recently, I re-read some of her mysteries and understood which parts she took from her own life. For example, the character of Ariadne Oliver is a version of herself. Ariadne relates stories that really happened to Agatha. If you love biographies, I recommend it, even if you are not a mystery fan. An interesting aside: since much of her life was spent in Iraq and other parts of the middle East, and also in dealing with war (WWI and WWII), this is an interesting read from our modern perspective.
