And Then There Were None

Agatha christie is the master of the mystery genre.

I had to read this book for school, and I quite enjoyed it. Of course, murder mystery is one of my favorite genres, some of the deaths are slightly gorier then one might like. However, if you are okay with these topics, then you will enjoy this book.

My class just finished this book and I have to say it is pretty good. I rated this book 12+ because my seventh grade ELA class read this book and had no trouble with it, although I probably wouldn't let my 10 year old sister read this book. There is a lot of violence in this book as it is a murder mystery including people being poisoned, drowning, bludgeoned, shot, crushed by a heavy object, and a character commits suicide. The characters drink for pleasure and medicine and drugs are used to poison people. The only bad language is damn and ass, but that's it. Overall, a very engaging and surprising book that my seventh grade class greatly enjoyed!

I love it! I definitely recommend!

This was such a good book! At the beginning I remember being confused with all the names, and it is an older book so it is harder to read, but it is so good. One of the times that I read it, I took a piece of paper and wrote all the names down and then I crossed them off when they died to try to figure out the mystery. It has such an unexpected twist! It is a definite must read, or you can listen to the audio version of it if you have one.

Just like the rest of Agatha Christie's stories, this is a masterpiece. The ending was extremely unexpected and gave me goosebumps when I read it for the first time at the age of 14. One of Christie's best books. Contains mentions of violence and gore. The actual deed is never mentioned explicitly. May scare younger or sensitive children.

I enjoyed this book. Typically, books I read for school tend to be slow paced and boring but I really enjoyed this. If you are familiar with the board game Clue or the video game Among Us you might enjoy this murder mystery. I don’t want to spoil the book so I’ll leave it at this, the ending was not what I thought it would be.

I read And Then There Were None last year, and, admittedly, it was a little early. The violence and deaths surprisingly didnt really bother me. Mostly, I just wanted to know who was murdering everyone and why. Believe me, I was not disappointed. You will never guess the answer to "who did it?" while reading. You should note, that originally, when this book was first published, it was called "Ten Little N*****s", and then when it came to the US, it was renamed "Ten Little Indians" (is that supposed to be better???), and eventually people realized that both titles are extremely offensive, and re-renamed it "And Then There Were None". Violence: Obviously, there is a lot of gore and deaths (I mean, its called "And Then There Were None", what did you expect?). People are murdered with all sorts of things, syringes, crushed to death, drowned, shot, etc. Sex: Relationships are mentioned, but nothing that bad. Language: "D*mn", "hell", "a**" are used a couple of times. Positive Messages and Role Models: Neither are present.

And Then There Were None is a 1939 mystery book written by Agatha Christie. Language(3/5): "Damn" and "hell" are used throughout, "arse", "a**", and "g****mn" are used once or twice, and characters are called "jews" malevolently. And while it's never explicitly said or even alluded to, the original title was called "Ten Little (N-words)", which was the poem "Ten Little Soldier Boys" original name. Sex: References to relationships. Drinking, Drugs, And Smoking(3/5): Drugs are frequently discussed, including dope, weed, and cyanide being used. One character is a drug dealer. A character is killed with cyanide. Characters drink frequently, but rarely get drunk. Violence(4/5): Characters are killed in brutal ways including being crushed, hit over the head, stabbed to bits with an ax, poison, drowned, shot in the head, shot in the chest, and eventually a suicide by hanging. The aftermaths of these deaths are described graphically. Positive Messages: Messages about caution are very subtle. Positive Role Models And Representations: Characters really don't show much positivity, other than resourcefulness. Quality(opinionated): A very well written book with incredible characters, brilliant pacing, and generally every element being nailed in execution.
