Lady Deadpool Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 I adore Agatha Christie. I was into crime/detective novels since a very early age and she was pretty much the reason why i wanted to become an author when i was younger. If i was ever to write a novel, Agatha's influence would be very clear in it. Her stories are amazing, the way she writes and the way she portrays the characters and the plots in every single book of hers are amazing and unique. To me she is the best of her kind. I simply can't be bored of her books. Anyone here a fan of hers? Link to post Share on other sites
BoMa Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 Me me me, I love this woman. I read 40+ of her books and want to read more and moreOne of my favorite books will be And Then There Were None Link to post Share on other sites
Lady Deadpool Posted December 29, 2010 Author Share Posted December 29, 2010 YYYAAAAYY <3 Ugh those are amazing stories indeed. I can't pick a favorite one. I think it should be Death on the Nile, The man in the brown suite and Endless night. Death on the nile is actually one of my fave movies ever. So who do you like the most? Miss Marple, Poirot, or stories without detectives? Just the protagonists? Link to post Share on other sites
BoMa Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Poirot all they way, I just think he's a weird interesting detective His stories are awesome .. I can't remember titles right now But Agatha make me love every story no matter what, every story have that interesting twist to it So do you figure out whose the murderer? I get it sometimes but mostly not hahaha Link to post Share on other sites
Carlyn Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 I have Murder on the Orient Express but I haven't read it yet. I haven't read any Agatha Christie books. I have watched most of the BBC adaptions of Agatha Christie novels such as Miss Marple and Poirot. I like Miss Marple better. Have you guys seen the Doctor Who episode called the Wasp and the Unicorn? The Doctor and Donna meet Agatha Christie. Link to post Share on other sites
Lady Deadpool Posted January 9, 2011 Author Share Posted January 9, 2011 (edited) ^Haven't watched Dr Who haha but that episode looks interesting ^.^ The film adaptations were great i think. Get to read the books! You'll get lost in them :3 Poirot all they way, I just think he's a weird interesting detective His stories are awesome .. I can't remember titles right now But Agatha make me love every story no matter what, every story have that interesting twist to it So do you figure out whose the murderer? I get it sometimes but mostly not hahahaI vote for Poirot too :3 His whole attitude is great haha. Awhh dude i'm always wrong! I mean even if i guess the murderer in the beginning, through the process she makes me exclude that person and the end it's them and i'm like "NOOOOWAY" xDShe always keeps you interested until the very end!

Thessalie Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 I aslso read a lot of her books (more than 50 of them). Hercule Poirot is so intelligent, I can only admire that character. He is funny in her own way, and the cleverness of the plots are amazing. I like the author very much, however something's missing to me : love stories ! Haha I recomend you also to read Patricia Wentworth's books. Her main detective is Miss Silver who is very touching, and I find all of her books are good stories (and you have romantic plots in it hehe). Link to post Share on other sites
Rose Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 I am a huge fan of the books!! My favorites are the stories with Hercule Poirot, but I also enjoy Miss Marple Link to post Share on other sites

However there is romance/love in most of them. In some the inspector falls in love with the woman who is considered to be guilty and you just can't help it but wishing that she is not and that those two should end up together. Or it's love that causes the murder or love gets in the way in general. But yeah love-love stories are not written by Agatha Awh i've heard of many people comparing Miss Silver with Miss Marple but have never read any of her books. I should haha.

Carlyn Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 I finally did read Murder on the Orient Express and I did enjoy it. However, I already knew the ending because I watched some BBC adaption of the book. I think I will continue to read Agatha Christie books but I know the endings to most of them because watching Miss Marple and Poirot. So it's a bummer that I can't guess who the murderer is but it is still enjoyable nonetheless. Link to post Share on other sites
Rose Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 I finished Peril at End House today. Amazing story, very well structured and just so much fun to read. The characters are brilliant and the ending is surprising and just awesome Link to post Share on other sites
