Hallowe'en Party (Dramatised) Audiobook

" This is my other favorite Christie story - Poirot stuck in a typical English village (where you'd expect to find Miss Marple) and he's trying to find out who drowned a girl in an apple bobbing bucket, and why. I love the way the present is all tied up in the past in this story. "

" Shocking. Dark. Beautiful. One fo my new favorites of her mysteries. "

" A lovely, absorbing Agatha Christie, as always. I enjoyed this one very much, as I usually enjoy Poirot. I always think I'll be able to figure it out and never do. This time, I was half right at least. ;) The only problem with this one, for me, was the character Ariadne. She was SO irritating that I actually just glossed over almost every long-winded paragraph she dominated. Luckily, she pretty much only talks endlessly near the beginning and end. I love Hercule Poirot so obnoxious characters won't keep me away from him ;) "

" Another great Hercule Poirot mystery. This one was creepier than some of the others from Agatha Christie. Also features Ariadne Oliver. "

" Quite repetitive and dull in the beginning, but it really picks up in the second half. There's a lot going on here, and it all works for the most part. "

" The book was slow to start off but then initiated continous thrill and excitement. It was alluring and intriguing. The ending was rather a twist very likely of Agatha Christie "

" [Relevant to AC's other mystery novels.] "

" Really well crafted mystery. Interesting characters. Enjoyed this more than I expected to. i have read this Miss Marple but not the Poirot mysteries from Christie so this was a first. I would definitely recommend to mystery fans. "

" An interesting, though twisted, mystery of death at a halloween party. Poirot is as clever as always. "

" Always love Hercule when he gets to the country! "

" This book was ok. I didn't hate it, but it certainly wasn't amazing. "

" Agatha Christie - one of my favorites. "

" You'll never go bobbing for apples again "

" What is it about an Agatha Christie that is so refreshing? This isn't one of her best, but I've certainly read (and enjoyed) worse. "

" Not at all bad, sixties poirot crime involving the murder of a child. Not what i was expecting from Christie. "

" Kind of slow! Come on, Poirot! "

" it's not autumn without a re-read of this classic who-done-it set in a country manor home "

" A fantastic errie and horrifying Chrstie "

" Poirot put some miles on patent leathers in this one... "

" It has been ages since I last picked up an Agatha Christie book. Chanced upon this one at a bookfair at a bargain price, how could I resist? Just re reading her works is simply refreshing. A book worth reading! "

" Very unusual and slightly creepy (albeit realistic) insights on the mentality of children. There's nothing more frightening than the deliberate murder of a child, with another either in danger or implicated. "

" I just felt like reading a good mystery. One day, I will read an Agatha Christie book and figure out the murderer before I'm told! "

" it's not autumn without a re-read of this classic who-done-it set in a country manor home "

" I really enjoyed it. Oh, and I was half right about who did it. "

" This book was ok. I didn't hate it, but it certainly wasn't amazing. "

" The only one I've read so far that I figured out before I finished it. "

" I like Agatha Christie for a quick and fun read. I don't like Poirot. Fortunately, he didn't figure particularly prominently in this one.Excellent bad guy, though the descriptions of him were a little *too* flowery, to the point where I was rolling my eyes way back at his first introduction. "

" gah, this book was so irritating! It was my first Agatha Christie, and apparently she's not my style at all. Too much dialog, too much repetition, too many spots where you tell the characters how stupid they are. To top it off, I listed to it on audio and the accent was SO BAD! "

" i liked it but this was nowhere near as good as her other novels. it was too long, mostly because she spent a great deal of time spelling out every thought, idea, clarification as though the reader would be too daft (yeah, daft) to understand. it made the writing seem amateurish. "

" Had a clever plot, but this one has too much of the English style of going into way too much detail for me. They started describing flowers so much so often that we were forced to skim this one and read like the last two chapters. "

" This is one of Christie's later books and it is not one of her best. While I found it better than Endless Night and Passenger to Frankfurt it lacks her concise and clear writing style. "

" I really enjoyed the ending but the book was almost too dense for me. I feel like it took forever to get anywhere yet I never could put it down until I found out who had done it in the end. Pretty good afterall... It's a keeper. "
