When I started reading "And then were none" I didn’t like the book. I didn’t understand what it was all about, but I didn’t throw the book away. At chapter 3 mysterious things ..... begun and I started to like it.

My favourite moments were the moments when there was a murder. At the beginning there were ten people and they were all murdered.

The book described those moments in a very thrilling way and that makes the story very exciting.

I can certainly recommend this book to other students who like stories with a thrilling, mysterious and a bit scary contents. Because when you read this story, it is almost like you’re in it yourself.

GENRE : It’s a detective story.

NARRATOR: There isn’t just one "voice" which is telling the story. There are ten voices, but one is dominating and that’s the voice of Mr. Justice Wargrave. In the story he dies.


CHARACTERS: There are 10 main characters.

Anthony James Martson : He has got a six feet of well-proportioned body ,crisp hair, a tanned face and blue eyes. He came for a holiday to the island and died instant-aneously

PLOT:

Ten people came to Nigger Island, all for a different reason. They didn’t know each other. They were all there to meet a man or woman named U.N. Owen. They found out that everybody was at Nigger Island for one same reason. But they didn’t know which reason. They stayed at a big house and everyone of them found a mysterious riddle in their room. It’s about ten little niggers and how they died at Nigger Island. At dinner everybody heard a voice which says that everyone is accused of a murder. Nobody had ever killed a person, they were only eye-witnesses of a murder. They also found out that the person who brought them to this Island didn’t exist. In a few days everybody was killed by the way the ten little niggers were killed. The police found all the bodies but they never found out who was the killer. One person ( the Killer) sent a letter to Scotland Yard in which he tells about his evil murders. That’s the end of the book.

KEY-MOMENTS:

The key-moments are when they found the riddle in their rooms. And when everybody get killed at a unexpected moment and how they found out that this has to do with those ten little niggers. And when they found out that, when there was a murder, a little china-figure on the table disappears.

SUB PLOTS USED:

The sub-plots were when every person suspects one of the 10 persons who are in the house. And when a gun has been stolen and nobody can’t find out how to escape from this awful place. But there never came a boat or other people.

TITLE:

"And then there were none" (Ten little niggers) is the title. The story tells about ten persons who came to Nigger Island. Those ten people were all killed in the same way as those ten little niggers. The ten people "were" the ten little niggers.

ALTERNATIVE TITLE:

That little riddle....

THEME:

Agatha Christie wrote a lot of detective books. Her books are still very successful. She wrote those books to please the readers. In every story you can pretend to be a detective and solve the mystery by yourself. It’s great fun I can tell you that.
