    <body><![CDATA[I loves me some Agatha Christie. Rather than adding all the Agatha Christie's I've read individually (probably close to two dozen). I'll sum them all up with the first one I ever read. I was in fourth grade when I finished Curtain and as of a few years ago, I try to read one or two every year.

    <body><![CDATA[Okay, now, if you're interested in reading a Christie novel, please save this one for later.  It is I believe the last of her Hercule Poirot novels, thus you should definitely pick up at least a few of her earlier Poirots before this.  Having said that, this has got to be one of her best!<br/><br/>P...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/58293293">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I love all Agatha Christies but this is one of my favorites! The last mystery ever solved by Hercule Poirot, as narrated by his faithful friend Hastings, this book kept me guessing until the end. It was full of surprises, and full of the humor and wisdom of the great Danish detective!]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This was an interesting end for one of my favorite fictional detectives. A little grim, but that must be expected...and Poirot's opponent here is truly devious. There will certainly be some discussion regarding the ending and how (and whether) justice was served in this case.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[My first Christie book.  I liked it okay but I feel I should have read one of her other works first since they seem to be in a series.  There were also a few language differences that took some adjusting to.  Perhaps if I read another of her books her style will grow on me.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Poirot's last book. This book has a solution that no one would ever guess. It's shocking. I couldn't get my head around it when I first read it. It just seemed impossible. The reason behind the murder is also out of the ordinary. ]]></body>
