And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie Review

I have been looking for a good old mystery novel to read in these lockdown days and then when I surfed a bit, many sites recommended this classic written  by the Queen of Mystery novels Agatha Christie.I generally reads non fiction and I wanted a change so bought this book And Then There Were None.

One book to be read in a lifetime.it best suits for those who watches thriller and mystery movies.
I recommend to those who say that books cannot be as thrilling as movies.The plot goes like this, Ten strangers are invited to a little island by an unknown person.Upon their arrival at the island they understand that the host was not there.At dinner they receive a message which finds all of them guilty in some way and by next day one of them is dead.The murderer can be anyone,their fears escalated when they saw an old rhyme which indicates the death of everyone.Will anyone survive???

Positives

  • Well structured :The story is well plotted and organised which leaves no doubt in the readers mind about the events,but gives no clue about the culprit.Now I understand why Agatha Christie is called the queen of mysteries.I dare you to find out the person before the novel tells.

  • Short: The book is about 250 pages and can be read in quick time. Its not that descriptive like the classic crime novels but the pacing is good which builds the thriller nature.Basically i like non fiction but this was an impromptu reading for me but was worth the time.

  •  Writing: Its an old book so there are lot of unknown words which might be difficult without a dictionary , but I met lots of good words which can be useful.It may be queer at first but will get used to it.


        My Rating : 4/5

The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho Review

' A Fable about following your dream' as the tagline suggest, it’s a book that talks about dreams and why should you follow your dreams. I have been wanting to read The Alchemist since childhood quite obvious because of the great hype it has created and people do talk a lot about it. Now only I got a chance to grab it and read it, is it really a great book?? Lets see. It is a story of a shepherd boy from Spanish province of Andalusia who dreams of travelling the world in search of treasure. He follows his heart and in his journey he meets several people, travels varied terrains where he meets the Alchemist. This forms the most of the story. It’s a book that has lot of hidden meanings Positives The whole theory is great, because it tells everything has a destiny and in your path to destiny , should be able to identify omens which eventually will lead you to it. There are a lot of great lines which I think can be passed on to several generations,helps the book to get into next le...

THE MONK WHO SOLD HIS FERRARI

Reading is one the greatest habits you can have..when you read you are actually having a conversation with the author, we actually become the characters described in the books.So we can choose which character we want to be in life. I was not a great reader during my childhood,not like the rich families who always insists that their children start reading at the time when they were born.My family is not like that. I remember myself struggling to cope up with Famous Five (which seems to be very easy) in 5th std..then I got on track in my 6th and 7th classes I met Harry Potter,Percy Jackson, Roald Dahl and his entertaining characters,Robin Sharma ,The greatest leadership expert whom I admire the most Its our decision to chose which book we have to read.I like motivational books ,one of which i'm here today...
