And Then There Were None is about ten strangers that are invited to an Island to spend a weekend. When they all get there they are quick to realize that they don’t know who invited them. They also figure out that the reason they were all invited to the Island is because they all were involved in somebody’s death. When the first person drops dead unexpectedly, they realize that foul play must had been involved. There is a poem in everyone’s room about ten little Indians who were all  killed. When people start to die in the order of the poem, there is also a porcelain Indian from the dining room table that is broken with each death. They all realize that someone the island is trying to kill them.

The book starts off a little slow because they are introducing all the ten characters and telling how they were invited to an island. The author does an impressive job of setting up the scene and making it have a scary feel. The middle of the book starts to pick up pace with multiple deaths. The end of the book is so thrilling and exciting because it has you sitting on the edge of your seat waiting to see who is the killer. One thing negative about this book is that there are a lot of characters that you must keep track of, especially because they are referred to by different names. You also must try to remember how each of them died. However, I did like how the end was exciting because there were two quick plot twists. The first one is exciting and happens quickly, the second you think that the story is done but then the reader sees that there is one last thing that the murderer must do according to the poem.

The writing is easy to understand and is good for all high school students. It isn’t very long and is over 200 pages. The book is so gripping that once you start reading it you will not put it down. This is one of Agatha Christie’s hardest books to write and it is written so well and with so much detail it feels like you are right there in the moment with these characters experiencing it with them. If you enjoy murder mystery and don’t mind putting in little effort to staying alongside, the plot than this is the book for you.
