Unknown reader, Maya, Sophie and Ishika : And Then There Were None

[Maya]

I just finished chapter two, and I think someone is going to die at dinner.

"Ten little soldier boys went out to dine; one choked his little self and then there were Nine."

someone is going to choke with his or her food.

Same! The first chapter was sooo confusing!

[Maya]

Also, I have a question. Do we read until chapter 4, or do we finish chapter 4?

[Ishika]

Ig finish chapter 4

[Maya]

Ishika wrote: "Ig finish chapter 4"

Ok, thanks :)

[Unknown, Bookish & Jobless]

Maybe it’s just me and my usual reading but the chapters didn’t felt short ?
The fourth chapter ends on..(view spoiler)[ Anthony Martson choking right ? (hide spoiler)]

[Ishika]

I downloaded the wrong copy
They gave me another book with the same cover

[MoonLight]

Hi everyone! Sorry to pry, I've read the book before and let me tell you that this will be one of your best reading experiences of your lives.

I just wanted to make a small point. The actual title is "And Then There Were None"

yeah there seem to be multiple titles for this book for some reason listed under goodreads

[MoonLight]

Yean and the funny thing is that it was published as "Ten Little Niggers" at first which I think was not as mysterious and spooky as the current title.

Ok I won't disturb you anymore. Enjoy!

same, every time I turn pages, I go back to try to understand what's going on.

[Aazra]

I HAVE NOT STARTED AND WILL REACH 8 CHAPTERS TODAY

[Ishika]

[Aazra]

Ishika wrote: "I'm still stuck on chap 2 ;("

Let's suffer together dearest Ishika♥️😌

[Maya]

I just finished chapter 8!

[Maya]

Also, I don't know if this will be of any help, but I found the audiobook on youtube, and it's easier to concentrate if you're reading and listening to the book at the same time!
Here it is, in case anyone wants it; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPKV7...

[[deleted user]]

ahhh thanks maya!!! i've never listened to an audiobook before but i might try it out

[[deleted user]]

once everyone finishes up to chapter 8 we need to talk about our theories

[Maya]

Yes! Though I'm not sure I have any...I'm suspicious about everyone and everything...

[[deleted user]]

[Maya]

OH NOO 😣

[[deleted user]]

[Unknown, Bookish & Jobless]

John Gordon Macarthur,

(hide spoiler)]

My thoughts - (view spoiler)[ I do not trust a single person, there’s obviously a lot they are not telling us. (hide spoiler)]

[Unknown, Bookish & Jobless]

The main poem -

(view spoiler)[
“Ten little soldier boys went out to dine;
One choked his little self and then there were Nine.
💀 Tony Marston who choked on a drink

Nine little soldier boys sat up very late;
One overslept himself and then there were Eight.
💀 mrs Rogers who died in her sleep

Eight little soldier boys travelling in Devon;
One said he’d stay there and then there were Seven.

Seven little soldier boys chopping up sticks;
One chopped himself in halves and then there were Six.

Six little soldier boys playing with a hive;
A bumble bee stung one and then there were Five.

Five little soldier boys going in for law;
One got in Chancery and then there were Four.

Four little soldier boys going out to sea;
A red herring swallowed one and then there were Three.

Three little soldier boys walking in the Zoo;
A big bear hugged one and then there were Two.

Two little soldier boys sitting in the sun;
One got frizzled up and then there was One.

One little soldier boy left all alone;
He went and hanged himself and then there were None.

Hmm….interesting, I’ll catch up hopefully.

Who’s going gonna die next..hopefully THAT person.

[Aazra]

Y'all, I'm gonna drop this
I cannot seem to get into this and this book is using up my last brain cell
I don't vibe with the writing
I think it kinda reads like a classic
And I HATE most classics with passion
Hopefully, y'all will find this enjoyable ♥️

[[deleted user]]

aww aazra :(((
that’s okay! it does read like a classic, i agree, but i’ve just finished reading the iliad so i cant really tell, the styles are very different for “classics”.

[[deleted user]]

[[deleted user]]

i won’t be able to read up to chapter 12 today, we are going into daylight saving so i lose an hour :(((

[[deleted user]]

it was really confusing at first but after around chapter 4 i started to really enjoy it

[[deleted user]]

[Ishika]

I want to try new things but then I usually give up :(
