Summary: Irresistible Suspense, Justice, Red Herring and Perfect Plot
Comment: Unlike most mysteries you will read, this one will always stay with you. Agatha Christie has surmounted the mystery form to provide a fascinating story of morality and immorality, in which justice plays an unusual hand. The title nicely displays the mystery (which has a perfect plot from my point of view). And then there were none -- who did it?
Agatha Christie wrote this in a spare and efficient way so that the story starts moving immediately, and speeds up as you go. It will be impossible to put this book down once you start reading it.
As you can imagine from the book's age and the author, this is a classic English murder mystery. The murders are there, but the blood does not overwhelm. Violence and social niceties nudge one another for your attention. At the same time, there is hope. Agatha Christie adds her hope for the future in a most unusual way in this novel, that will leave you encouraged for the future of humanity after first causing you to despair.
One of the beauties of the plot is that it expands on the famous locked room format to include an island where there is no access or exit, nor any way to communicate. That gives much more room for interesting plot developments without losing any of the intellectual puzzle of a locked room.
An unusual factor about this novel is that you will soon find yourself identifying with the guilty victims (even though you are not a murderer). Usually, mystery novels have the reader identifying with the innocents or the detective. That is accomplished by creating a gripping sense of paranoia as the numbers of those on the island rapidly dwindle.
Don't miss this book!
After you are done and have savored all of the book's brilliance, reflect a little about how Agatha Christie explored stalled thinking about what was going on to make the plot so effective. Then think about all of those places in your life and business where things may also not be what they seem. If you can use this insight to locate your misconception stalls, you will be doubly blessed by reading this book.

Summary: And Then There Were None--Perspective of a Marauder
Comment: The Book that I read, by force, actually turned out being a very good book. There are many reasons why this Agatha Christie novel was so great. Perhaps the most significant reason is the desire to know what is going to happen next. The book is about ten people who are invited to a weekend of fun by an anonymous guest. One by on they are eliminated until there becomes no guests left and a note from the mad host. This novel was actually HARD to stop reading. All the clues intrigued me to read on. For example, when the characters arrived to an unoccupied mansion you had to figure that something was going on. And as the amount of people on the island decreased the suspicion increased. This book was great from the start to finish -- from the invitation letters signed, "UNKNOWN" to the final intrigue of the last few deaths of the last remaining guests. If you can get your hands on it definitely read this book. It is great for those who like suspense. Agatha Christie is a great author who does a great job with mystery novels and this is perhaps her best work

Summary: And Then There Were None
Comment: "And Then There Were None", is a mystery book that is wrote by the author, Agatha Christi, who is by no surprise the number one best seller for mystery books. The book is taken place in Diltisham, Indian Island. Its about a mysterious man named Mr, Owen who invites 10 guests, who don't know eachother to his beautiful house on an Indian Island. Throughout the whole story the 10 guests try to figure out who Mr. Owen could be. Is he on the Island? Is he one of the 10? Or, did he not even come on the Island? ONe by one the 10 people are killed by a murderer's fantasy of a "Ten Little Indians" poem. Killing them based on the poem.
I thought the book " And Then There Were None", was very well organized, descriptive, and well written. Agatha Christi does a great job with keeping you guessing till the end, of who the killer is. This book never has a dull moment, there is always something going on. There is a twist in the ending that you would have never expected.
