Hey, guys! I'd heard about And Then There Were None for ages and finally decided to read it. It was good; I enjoyed it and think you would, too!
The Cover:
The Cover:
It shows a hand reaching for a "soldier boy" statue. It makes sense in context of the book and emits an eery vibe. It's alright. B cover
Official Description:
First, there were ten - a curious assortment of strangers summoned as weekend guests to a private island off the coast of Devon. Their host, an eccentric millionaire unknown to all of them, is nowhere to be found. All that the guests have in common is a wicked past they're unwilling to reveal - and a secret that will seal their fate. For each has been marked for murder. One by one they fall prey. Before the weekend is out, there will be none. And only the dead are above suspicion.
My Review:
And Then There Were None was great. It wasn't perfect by any means, but it did a great job of building suspense and mystery. It is a classic mystery novel that earned its hype.
The drama that ensued from the search for the murderer was incredibly intense. The conclusion blew my mind. Finally a mystery novel where you don't guess the ending half-way through the book!
That being said, the characters were a bit stupid. They had to be for the sake of the plot but it was a bit much at times. Some parts of the book are a bit outdated/ not entirely politically correct because it was written in 1939, but it was less so than you might expect. Despite being written so long ago, And Then There Were None didn't require a translator to read by any means. It was straightforward, fairly modern writing. Perfectly understandable to an average reader.
I'd recommend reading And Then There Were None if you like mysteries at all. It's not only a classic, but a good classic. It's intense and fun. It'll make you excited to read the next chapter.
Audiobook Review (read by Dan Stevens):
This was a wonderful audiobook. Dan Stevens did a great job conveying the excitement of the book without going overboard. Also, whether this is positive or negative to you, he has a British accent. It fits with the story, but I wanted to mention it in case you don't like accents!
