Murder on the Orient Express-Krish

 

Murder on the Orient Express-Agatha Christie



Murder on the Orient Express is a fictional detective novel by Agatha Christie. Murder on the Orient Express is about the detective, Hercules Poirot, who is on the Orient Express Train. On the Orient Express train, a wealthy American named Ratchett is murdered, and it is up to Hercules Poirot to find out who did it. Unfortunately, everyone on the train has their own alibi, and as Hercules Poirot digs deeper, the novel ends with a surprising conclusion. 
Overall, I enjoyed this book because of the many twists and turns throughout the book. Agatha Christie's narration is also amazing, with her character development and placement of clues, keeping the reader guessing all the way through until the surprising conclusion. The novel's ability to combine suspense and plot twist gives an amazing classic whodunit story by Agatha Christie. I personally enjoyed this book a lot, and once I started reading it, I could not put it down. Overall, I will give this book a 10/10 and highly recommend it to anyone who is a fan of detective novels.

    Hi Krish. I saw a show which was a spinoff of this novel and I finally understood what some of the puns they made meant. I've also heard of Agatha Christie's books but I've never gotten a chance to read them so I might start off with this one. Good post!

    Hi Krish, how is the book structured, is it more on the train or out in the world?

    Hi Krish, great review! Was the train itself filled with the wealthy, or was there a great variety of people on this train!??!?!?!!

    Hi Krish, this review showed an exquisite amount of effort, everything from the beginning to the end was just full of complexities beyond my surface of knowledge. I look forward to reading this novel someday and think to myself, this review was what got me interested in this.

    Hi Krish! I love mysteries, and this book's plot sounds very interesting. Do you think the fact that most of the story happened on the train made the plot better or worse?!?! I'd love to know why!

    Hi Krish, I enjoyed this blog post, however it is much shorter than I would have liked, and this resulted in an almost unsatisfactory feeling after reading your blog. I would like to know a little more about what MADE the book worth the 10/10.

    Hello Krish! I am reading this book right now. But I actually don't particularly enjoy it. Of course, the story and plot of the murder itself is amazing, but the lack of any action outside of the interrogations for the larger portion of the book make it come up short in comparison to her other Poirot novels (in my opinion ofc). But it's still a great book!

The False Prince-Krish

The False Prince Book Review I first heard about this book from my mom. It was a normal day, and I was just sitting around on the couch when my mom told me about this book. She had read this book nearly 5 years ago and had set a Google Calendar reminder to tell me about this book five years later. She was just trying to test if Google Calendar worked. But it worked! Now, I decided to read this book because of my mom's recommendation, and it was a pretty good book. False Prince is set in a fictional kingdom where the king has just died. A nobleman named Conner devises a plan to find an impersonator of the king's long-lost son and install him as a puppet prince to unify a discontented kingdom. He decides to train three candidates to impersonate the prince. This book follows one of the three people he decides to train, Sage, and his story.      I enjoyed False Prince a lot and it was very entertaining. Jennifer A. Nielsen has a unique way of bringing out each character's per...

The Dark Truth Behind a "Man's Best Friend" - Charlotte Lin

Golden Retrievers are popular pets, known for their loyalty and friendliness. German Shepherds are well-known as police dogs for their size, intelligence, work ethic, and trainability. Chihuahuas are famously loved for their petite size and adorable features. Most dog traits and characteristics have been artificially bred, defined, and enhanced through selective breeding. While breeding practices can produce desirable offspring with beneficial attributes, many are unaware of the price the animals must pay. This month I did a lot of reading about how breeding initiated by humans has affected the development and health of dogs for hundreds of years. At first, I was just interested in the incredible variety of a singular species and how canines have progressed to hundreds of different breeds worldwide. However, the topic of breeding and genetics surprisingly led me to learn about the ethics of these practices, revealing a darker side of dog breeding.  The truth is that purposely breed...

Amulet 1 by Kazu Kibuishi

 So when I was first writing my Readers Autobiography I decided to talk about Amulet in the rough draft and I said that when I was a kid I thought it was boring to read, mainly because the dialogue felt like too much for me at the time but a few weeks ago I decided to reread the series and I was actually pretty engaged with it now that I could understand, I found it quite interesting and it was actually much shorter than I thought it was compared to when I was younger.  In case you haven't already read this book yet, the main character Emily Hayes is someone who has been through things as a kid what caused her change in demeanor as a kid was when her father died in a car accident which turned her from a playful child to quiet, serious mature person. 2 years after her fathers death, her mom decides for the family to move to a far away place in the countryside where her great grandfather used to live in. As they start to clean the house Emily finds a red amulet that used to belo...
