And Then There Were None

The famous mystery novel, And Then There Were None is written by the all time best-selling novelist Agatha Christie.
I had never read anything by Agatha Christie, so I was very excited to read this book, because I was told that it was an amazing book, and I decided to give it a try, even though mystery novels really aren’t my prefered genre.
And Then There Were None is afterall one of the best-selling novels of all time, so I had a few expectations, but I can honestly say that this book has exeeded them all.

The story is about ten people who are sent to an island called Soldier Island. The drama starts almost as soon as they’ve all arrived, because it’s revealed that they all have one big thing in common… they’ve all killed someone, either on purpose or on an accident.

book has gotten so popular. It’s exciting, easy and it leaves you wanting more everytime you turn the page. So the fact that it’s one of the most sold books in the world, doesen’t really surprise me…

I would rate it 4.5 out of 5 stars, mostly because my mystery hating self still feels a bit icky about the fact that it’s a mystery novel, and I feel like I’m giving too much in if i rate it 5 out of 5.
So I’m going to rate it 4.5 out of 5 dead

    Essay Analysis The essay on Agatha Christie was fairly effective on supporting and proving its thesis on how Christie’s book has had a big impact on readers everywhere even today.

Also, the writer doesn’t use any form of personal voice which is effective in getting the reader engaged in the topic by having the the reader focus on the topic instead of the writer.…
