I just finished it. I decided to read some Agatha Christie after seeing a sow about her, and got a book with three of her books (Murder on the Orient Express, Death in the Clouds and Why Didn't they ask Evans).
I really liked it, although I didn't see it coming. I'd really like to find a few big volumes with all of her books in them, because she seems like a talented writer.
Onto the book, it was really interesting. I didn't see the end coming, but I've ever been good at those types of things anyway. I liked how short it was, but it seemed quite long.
Overall, very good read, excited about reading more Christie things.

I had to read Murder on the Orient Express for 8th grade english last year and felt kind of neutral about it. Only because my teacher made us learn, like, 40 french expressions before reading it. But i did like the end. I actually thought it would be Countess Andrenyi only because she seemed so... innocent. If you know what I mean.

I really liked "And Then There Were None", but my older sister hates it.
No, actually I didn't
It's criminals that I don't like - romances are okay, in my book. So I'll probably have to get my hands on them in the nearest future, yes?

I'm hoping to read all of her books, because I really liked MOTOE.
Esme, she wrte six romance novels you know? Under a different name that I can't remember right now, but she wrote them.
I pick up Agatha Christie only when I am particularly desperate. My mother loves her, so there are quite a lot of her books lying around in the house.
It's not that I don't like her way of writing, style, or just generally the writing itself. In fact, I do, and very much, but I just can't stand criminal. Woe. Why couldn't she write in any other genre? Why?
But "Orient Express" was quite good as criminals go.
I really loved MOTOE - her twists and turns are so well planned and unexpected.
If you liked this, Choco, you might like 'The Hollow'. It's my favourite Christie book.
