Rating:  Summary: Evil on the island Review: Evil Under The Sun was the first Agatha Christie book that I have read. I am not sure that I will read another one of her books or not. The book did have a good plot, but it was rather slow moving. It took approximately sixty pages for someone to die,which to me was a long time. Before, Arlena Stewart Marshall was murdered, the book was a little confusing to me. The book did, however become a little more interesting after the murder. The best part about the book was the way the Hercule Poirot explained the murder. He explained the exact movements of everyone who was involved with the murder. Altogether I thought that it was a fairly good book despite some of it's faults.

Rating:  Summary: Great book! Review: I am a lover of many of Agatha Christie's books, but I would have to say this is the best by far! This is a very easy book to read but you'll never guess who did it or how. Hurcule Poroit is a genius and Agatha Christie even more a genius for creating him! A must read.
Rating:  Summary: THIS WAS TERRIBLE!!! Review: I certainly agree with the last person commenting. This was no winner. The plot dragged, the story was far from suspenseful, and you felt a heavy obligation to read to the end. I think that Christie has several novels where the deadline was shortly approaching, or she had just run out of ideas. That's certainly acceptable, but don't bother with a less-than mediocre book!
Rating:  Summary: fantastic Review: I feel tht M.Christie has written magnificently in this book. I had to read this book for a characterization report for school, and I was immediatly enthralled. Tho i thought i knew who the murderer was, i was greatly suprised at the truly twisted ending. In short, I loved it and I feel u wil to.
Rating:  Summary: David Suchet is wonderful! Review: I highly recommend the audio book read by David Suchet. You won't believe the voices that he can give these characters. It really makes the book come alive. He's a class act.
Rating:  Summary: I liked it Review: I liked this book. I have seen the movie as well. I still found the book to be interesting even though I have seen the movie already.
Rating:  Summary: A Bone-Chillling Masterpiece Review: I loved this book. I had absoluty no idea who was the murderer. This book had many twists and turns. I had a new main suspect for each chapter. I think that Christie oudid heself in this book. I could not put this book down; it kept me on the edge of my seat through-out the whole story. I highly recommend this book.
Rating:  Summary: Murder Never Takes A Holiday When Poirot Travels Review: In this novel, Agatha Christie does what she does best: assembles a group of diverse characters on holiday, has one of them murdered, and provides the rest with plenty of opportunity and motive to have committed the crime.Arlena Marshall is a beautiful woman known for her affairs with men, both before and during her marriage. While on holiday at the Jolly Roger Hotel on England's South Coast, she openly cavorts with Patrick Redfern while her husband and his wife watch helplessly. Tragedy is inevitable and few are surprised when Arlena is murdered. What sets Christie apart from other mystery writers is the wonderful skill she exhibits with characterizations. This novel, one of her best in my opinion, is complete with many well-developed ones which make for a believable crime. Miss Rosamund Darnley, a talented dress designer, and Mr. and Mrs. Odell Gardener, the outspoken American woman and her long-suffering husband, are just a few of the many who fill this story. And of course, the famous detective Hercule Poirot also happens to be on holiday here at the time of the murder. Everybody is a suspect as voodoo practices, drug-smuggling, religious mania, and two murders from the past add intrigue. The book was adapted to the big screen in 1982 with Peter Ustinov as Hercule Poirot, Dianna Rigg as Arlena Marshall, and Maggie Smith, Roddy McDowall, James Mason, Colin Blakely, and Jane Birkin also starring. A new made-for-tv version will air in 2001 with David Suchet as Poirot and Hugh Fraser as Arthur Hastings.
