As my first Agatha Christie read, this was a great book to start with. I'd seen the movie before (years ago, so I didn't remember it 100%) and remembered liking it so I decided to give the book a read to see if 1) I liked Christie's style and 2) if the book was as good as I remembered the movie being. And wow, it was a solid yes to both points. The story was well thought out and straight forward without being obvious, so the ending made sense and wasn't easily guessed. I liked that the book and the movie were different (at least from my memory, again, I could be wrong). The only issue I had was keeping all the characters straight so I had to flip back sometimes to remind myself who had done what. Aside from that, this was an extremely enjoyable read and would really recommend this (and the movie version!) to everyone.
