And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie
2.0

1.5 stars

The intro/outro music gave me chills, but otherwise this really just wasn't for me. Part of it is probably the audiobook format, which is easy to get through and which I literally use to fall asleep (no reflection on the narrator or author, just my relationship to the medium). Part of it is the plot pacing: an almost-disjointed series of twists/reveals, some of which felt shoehorned in rather than a logical progression. Several of the narrative elements have now become popular tropes. The characters were all pretty unlikeable.

In other words, I'm not saying Christie isn't a great writer deserving of her popularity. I'm just saying that I personally didn't like this book.
