When I started reading "And then were none" I didn’t like the book. I didn’t understand what it was all about, but I didn’t throw the book away. At chapter 3 mysterious things ..... begun and I started to like it.

My favourite moments were the moments when there was a murder. At the beginning there were ten people and they were all murdered.

The book described those moments in a very thrilling way and that makes the story very exciting.

I can certainly recommend this book to other students who like stories with a thrilling, mysterious and a bit scary contents. Because when you read this story, it is almost like you’re in it yourself.

It’s about ten little niggers and how they died at Nigger Island. At dinner everybody heard a voice which says that everyone is accused of a murder. Nobody had ever killed a person, they were only eye-witnesses of a murder. They also found out that the person who brought them to this Island didn’t exist. In a few days everybody was killed by the way the ten little niggers were killed. The police found all the bodies but they never found out who was the killer.

THEME:

Agatha Christie wrote a lot of detective books. Her books are still very successful. She wrote those books to please the readers. In every story you can pretend to be a detective and solve the mystery by yourself. It’s great fun I can tell you that.
