Amazon.com Review
Considered the best mystery novel ever written by many readers, And Then There Were None is the story of 10 strangers, each lured to Indian Island by a mysterious host. Once his guests have arrived, the host accuses each person of murder. Unable to leave the island, the guests begin to share their darkest secrets--until they begin to die.
Product Description
And Then There Were None is the signature novel of Agatha Christie, the most popular work of the world's bestselling novelist. It is a masterpiece of mystery and suspense that has been a fixture in popular literature since it was originally published in 1939. First there were ten-a curious assortment of strangers summoned to a private island off the coast of Devon. Their host, an eccentric millionaire unknown to any of them, is nowhere to be found. The ten guests have precious little in common except that each has a deadly secret buried deep in their own past. And, unknown to them, each has been marked for murder. Alone on the island and trapped by foul weather, one by one the guests begin to fall prey to the hidden murderer among them. With themselves as the only suspects, only the dead are above suspicion.

 One of my favorite mysteries August 16, 2010

It's been about 15 years since I read this book, and I still remember it as one of my finest reads.
AMAZING! July 26, 2010
This is by far the best mystery ive ever read. I couldnt put it down and finished it in 2 days!
 This edition tries (and fails) to be "PC" July 15, 2010

I have long loved Agatha Christie's work and I've read "And Then There Were None" several times (I teach the novel in a high school). My only issue with this particular edition is that, in an attempt to be politically correct, the publishers chose to change the name of the island from Indian Island to Soldier Island. This would be alright except that they left in all of the anti-semitic rhetoric (with regards to Isaac Morris) and racist comments about African natives. If you're going to go PC, then do it completely or not at all. Or better yet, educate people about the changes in attitudes from one time period to another and read it in that context.
Four and a half stars July 4, 2010
Didn't expect to like it as much as I did. Like most teens, I'm not really a fan of 'old' books. But, I've gotten more of a fan of mystery novels in the past year because of some mystery freebies from the Kindle store, so that helped.
For the first twenty pages or so, when they were introducing ALL ten main characters, I have to admit nearly put the book down. But glad I didn't, as as soon as the introductions were through, it sped up pretty quickly.
I predicted the ending, but then again, I often do. Overall wonderful book, and I'm glad it was on my summer reading list. (Will be a freshman in high school in the fall.)
One of Christie's best July 3, 2010
bookworm1858 (San Diego)
Summary: Ten people are lured to an island and then killed according to a macabre nursery rhyme posted in each of their rooms.
Thoughts: One of the best-known of Christie's many mysteries, I have also found this to be one of my favorites although with some qualms namely the killer's sense of justice. One character certainly deserved to die based on a callous disregard for the lives killed through a car accident while others I was less convinced. But it is brilliantly written; as I've done with many Christies, I question if the reader could have actually solved this. Also SPOILER the killer does not die or receive any punishment for killing these people. I think it's a bit like Dexter in that: latent psychopath kills other killers which is troubling to my morality END SPOILER. One difficulty at the start was sorting out all of the characters as they are introduced one right after the other. But then they start dying and that makes it a bit easier to sort them out.
But it is a very quick read and enjoyable. I liked trying to puzzle out how they were committed and how they would be committed although I knew I wouldn't be able to figure out who did it. I flew through it even with my mom's persistent interruptions.
Overall: 5/5 Despite my perceived flaws, obviously a standout and definitely recommended!
