Hey guys! It's another book recommendation! This one is an older, but still popular book. You may not have heard about it, but it is one of my favorites. And Then There Were None was also published as Ten Little Indians, but they are both the same book. Agatha Christie, the best mystery author ever (yes I'm talking to you Sherlock Holmes fans) wrote this book, and many others. But myAgatha Christie love started with this book.
Vague letters from U. N. Owen. A mysterious island. A tape accusing each of the guests of murder. Yes, Soldier Island is no luxury resort. When each of the 10 guests are invited to this enigmatic island, no one knows what really will happen. Except for one. When the phonograph plays that foreboding tape, no one knows what will happen next. Until someone is murdered. One by one, the occupants of Soldier Island are killed off, one by one. Trapped by the crashing waves around them, the adults are picked off. But each death falls in accordance of an eerie poem. Ten little Indians, when out to dine. One choked his little self, and then there were nine. Verse by verse, the deaths happen. Until the killer is left.
This book is not a horror story. It is suspenseful, and little gore is involved. I wouldn't recommend this story to young children, due to its reading level and difficulty of language. Also, the murders may be upsetting to some, and the suspense is high. It is a clean book, with only a few curse words here and there, and has one or two adult references- but nothing dirty. I recommend this story to anyone older then 11 maybe, even 10. It is an enjoyable story, and is a great read for any day.
