I finally broke down and read my first Agatha Christie novel. Ironically enough, I was reading along when a message showed up in my inbox about a new reader app called Clean Reader which blanks out "profanity" and offers "less-profane" words in their place. All of this came about because some parents were too lazy to parent their kid who came across a few words in a book she was reading. Anyway, it's ironic because there's nary a curse word to be found in And Then There Were None but I'd be remiss in not mentioning that this is the book's third title because the first two are charged with racism. Even with the title change, a reader cannot out-run the anti-Antisemitism and misogyny that permeates the tale. Yes, yes, 1930s, blah blah and we're supposed to dislike the characters and all, but still. It detracted from my reading experience, and not even Clean Reader could have blackened out all the "profane" material. And that's my overall point - you take a book as it is written and not all of them will be to taste. -- 2015 first review
