Taylor's Book Response

Dear Dayna,

“And then there were none” By Agatha Christie, is a story about ten strangers who were summoned as weekend guests to a private island called Indian island off the coast of Devon. After the guests arrive they mysteriously start dying. They start dying day after day as in the same manner of the Ten Little Indians poem. Soon the guests are suspicious of each other. The guests are watching each others every move and every step……..And then there were none.

I liked the book because it was very suspenseful. My eyes were glued to the words as pages went on and on waiting for the grand event to happen. I liked the way the author held my attention. My partner should read this book because it kept me on the edge of my seat. I felt full of suspense trying to figure out the mystery. I noticed how the author was very descriptive and used lots of detail. It helped me picture the setting.” She had pictured it differently, close to shore with a beautiful white house. But there was no house visible, only the boldly silhouetted rock with a faint resemblance to a giant Indians head.”

I would rate the book a seven because I liked the suspense but it was a little too scary. The note at the end left me with chills running down my spine.

Reading this story helps me realize that there are mysteries out there like that. I feel it helped me be aware of those situations, because I don’t want to be in a situation of life or death. The authors message is to understand what you are getting into and know how to take care of the situation. I learned that some people seem trustworthy but some really aren’t. That is why there were tem and then there were none.

Sincerely,
Taylor
