    <body><![CDATA[This is one of my favorite Agatha Christie's. Unlike most people, I think that Christie has a very good handle on characterization. I don't know what it is, but I really enjoy her characters. And this is a story built mostly on characterization.

I don't want to give anything away, but let me just say that Christie was a master of a technique that 99.9 % of writers don't have a clue about: giving the reader ALL the information up front and witholding nothing.

    <body><![CDATA[I'd give this book an extra half star if I could. But I can't. I really enjoyed the structure of this book, and the idea itself. There was a nice twist at the end, and Poirot was, as usual, at his best. The only bit I'm still unclear on is *why* Caroline stole the poison in the first place. Was she ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/43239420">more...</a>]]></body>

It was fun reading the events of the murder through the eyes of the five suspects and seeing how their observed (and unobserved) prejudices found their ways into the stories, and as always, Poirot found it all out.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[God bless Agatha...I guess everyone strikes out sometime. This book felt very dry and detached to me and I never felt involved with the characters. You are given all the information, each character gives &quot;evidence&quot; and at the end the mystery is solved but it all seems very academic.]]></body>
