Summary: Review of Murder on the Orient Express
Review: There is a train called Orient Express that go France from Turkey with fourteen passengers include in famous detective Poirot. When the train stopped because of the snow, a man called Rechett was killed by someone. There was a clock that had stopped at 1: 15, one pipe cleaner, two different shapes of matches and a handkerchief that had the initial 'H'. The compartment had been locked inside and there were no footprints on the snow outside of the train. Nobody could escape from the train and everybody had an alibi. Then who was the murderer? How could Poirot find the murderer?

While I was reading I could not stop thinking about murderer and the method. Everybody had an alibi then who could have killed Rechett? How could the murderer kill that man and why? This book amplified my anxiety about these questions. And when I finished the book I couldn't have imagined the solution without Poirot's tact and cleverness. He just solved all my questions in the end. It was terrific! If somebody wants to read this book I'll recommend strongly right away. Just keep thinking 'Who did it?' You are going to be surprise.

Summary: A good mystery book
Review: Review of Murder on the Orient Express

The book has for a protagonist a detective called Hercule Poirot, a famous little Hungarian detective with a funny mustache, who is always complaining about the people. During his stay at the Stambul Hotel he is called to go to London to solve a case. The problem is that when he is inside the train that is going to transport him to his destination, a murder is committed, and he has to solve the mystery before the police arrive to the train that it's stuck in a snowdrift. He is sure that the murder is inside the train, for all the clues that are in the site of the murder. He begins to interview with the passengers and maybe one of them is the real murder. All the passengers give him different opinions about the murder, and their relationship with the Armstrong Family. A lot of mystery and clues would help him to solve this strange murder of a famous gangster (Ratchett) and finally find the culpable. During the whole book the question is who did it? And all the clues are going to show the answer for that question. I liked the book, for all the funny way of Poirot's interviews and how he interacts with the people also I liked how the line owner and the doctor during all the interviews thought that the interview was the murder.

Summary: Murder on the Orient Express
Review: "Murder on the Orient Express" is a murder mystery that is wonderful becuase it is based solely on the wit and wisdom of its detective. Agatha Christie writes a muder mystery in a manner that doesn't dwell on the immorality of the situation; she doesn't stoop to the level of using sex or violence to capturing her reader's attention. This is a wonderful mystery that will keep you guessing up until the end with its brilliant dectective, perfect alibis, and unexpected turns.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Plot!
Review: This was definatly one of Christie's best mysterys. She made it so everything was intertwined with one event and made it so you were always guessing. It just starts a little slow, but that's all that was wrong. It has something that makes you keep reading from the very begining and not put it down. I definatly like Christie's way of doing mysteries and wish she was still at it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best Book I Have Ever Read!!
Review: I recommend the book Murder on the Orient Express because it has to be the best book I have ever read! I especially like how Agatha Christie creates such a realistic conflict in her stories, that gets you hooked to the book. For example, I think it is intriguing how she came up with the snowstorm to add to the suspense. Christie uses irony in her novels, which makes her novels even more interesting, such as how she gave so many possibilities for the solution, yet the right solution is the easy, unexpected one. Agatha Christie is a very talented author. this book was so good, even though I don't spend much time reading, I am going to start to read some of the other books in the series! I encourage you to read this book. I promise it will not be a waste of your time!!!
