Quick, easy read. That five years of French I took in school came in handy. I said "WTF" aloud multiple times during the last 15% of the book. I suppose the ending was satisfying. Ridiculous story.

Remains a stone-cold classic that is sheer, unadulterated genius. One of the exemplars of the genre.

The book that made me start reading Agatha Christie!! If ever you're hesitating on whether to read this or not, JUST GO READ IT ALREADY. I swear you will not regret it and your time will be well-spent. 

I was too busy singling out who the killer was that the ending left me completely gagged. The build up of the suspense and reveal was oh-so satisfying.

Seldom (almost never) do I read mystery books, but the boredom of quarantine has lead me to pick myself up from a book slump and to read something. ANYTHING. Having watched the movie adaptation of this book before reading it, I was utterly surprised at the difference between both versions of the story. In fact, the movie (which seemed interesting at first watch) now looks incredibly awful and an insult to Christie's work. The book, as it is most of the time, was MUCH better than the movie, and i highly recommend the read.

Agatha Christie s most famous murder mystery, reissued with a striking new cover designed to appeal to the latest generation of Agatha Christie fans and book lovers.

Just after midnight, a snowdrift stops the Orient Express in its tracks. The luxurious train is surprisingly full for the time of the year, but by the morning it is one passenger fewer. An American tycoon lies dead in his compartment, stabbed a dozen times, his door locked from the inside.

My first Agatha Christie novel and happy to say I was not disappointed! Clever plot, great cast of characters, and several good twists that kept me on my toes. The ending was also so satisfying. Loved it.

I have been wanting to read books by Agatha Christie for years, yet whenever I made it to a bookstore I would get lost in the aisles and forget about my desires. Luckily for me, Kennett Branagh decided to remake Murder on the Orient Express. The movie was fantastic and everything I wanted it to be, which gave me perfect reason to find the book and give it a shot! And it was INCREDIBLE.

I'm amazed by how talented Agatha Christie was. The pure talent for writing shown in this book is so shocking, and it makes me desperate to read every other book she has written. Hopefully, I'll be able to find them in my adventures!

This book is the 10th novel in the series, but it is very easy to pick up and start reading. I had no issue being pulled into the story and not wanting to put the book down. The language is a bit old fashioned (since it's an older book) so there may be a disconnect for some present readers, but that seemed to be the only issue I could find when I picked this book apart.

In short, the plot for this book is there is a murder on the Orient Express train and Hercule Poirot (a wildly famous detective) is determined to solve it. The twist? Multiple suspects aboard a stalled train. 

The book is fun, fast paced and wildly addicting. If you love a good mystery, trying to solve this story is absolutely delightful! Everyone has an alibi and Poirot can only find out information by asking questions and looking at their reactions (because...GASP!...there's no electronic devices in the time period this book is set in). I knew the ending already from watching the movie, but trying to pick out the evidence that led to Hercule's final thoughts was so much fun! I scrambled along the way and enjoyed every second of this book.

Overall, this book is a great read! If you want to read a classic, a mystery or just a fun book I really suggest this one! It'll keep you hooked and make your head spin in circles.

Five out of five stars!

My second book written by Agatha Christie, Murder on the Orient Express, was a lovely read! Slow to begin with and an incredibly complicated murder with everybody having a strong alibi the ending was a surprise! This was also my first Hercule Poirot book and as a character, he is very likable.

I'm looking forward to reading more books by Agatha Christie. Which book by her should I read next?
