 Ten was absolutely fantastic. A suspenseful and terrifying retelling of Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None that will keep you on the edge of your seat. 
 For some reason, from the moment I first heard about this book, I knew it was going to be amazing. I haven't read the novel this was based on, but enjoyed it nonetheless. 
 I had difficulty getting into the writing in the beginning of the novel, but I caught up soon enough. I liked the main character, but sometimes I just wanted to grab her firmly by the shoulders and tell her to stop defending her best friend, Minnie, who is very unreasonable and just mean towards Meg. Also, Meg was a bit too obsessed with T.J. I mean, I get that she likes him and stuff, but girl, a serial killer is on the loose, and you're spending your time kissing? Run for your life! 
 I liked how there was a broad assortment of teens from a couple of different schools trapped on the island, which resulted in lots of trust issues and accusations. It's the kind of book where you're never really sure who the killer is, because it could be any one of them, even the main character. 
 I think this book could be a pretty good horror movie as long as it's done right, and with a good cast. Reading Ten was kind of like reading a horror movie in book form, except without bad actors and girl characters who scream instead of run. 
 I just want to say: I love the cover! The simplicity of it, the dark, haunting island, and the bright red text. It's definitely what drew me to it, and if the cover hadn't been so great, I probably wouldn't have bought it as soon as possible. Though one thing that bothers me, is that the island on the cover looks too small and there's no tower, like described in the book. 
 If you love the mystery and thriller genre, Ten will not disappoint.
