- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This book was alright. I did enjoy the twists and turns as well as not being able to guess the whole time what was really going on. Some of the plot seemed a little far stretching and a bit unbelievable which is why I gave it 3 stars. Over all it was a good quick listen.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/54.5 — finished within a day wow. This is my first Christie and my god what a thrill. Dan Stevens did a phenomenal job narrating. The atmosphere was expertly built up; the characters, distinct and fleshed out. It was fascinating to witness the gradual deterioration of their sense just as the island’s foreboding aura sinks into them and into the reader.
A compelling, perfectly-paced read. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Renowned mystery tale with excellent performance by the reader. Delightful.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Slow start but hang in there. This mystery does NOT disappoint. By chapter 4 or so it really picks up and before you know it you’re sucked in. Great book! Definitely worth a read especially if you’re not familiar with Agatha Christie’s works.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It was absolutely amazing. Dan Stevens adds his voice to this remarkable tale and does it quite well.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Still that inimitable sense of impending doom. Still that inevitable dread. Nearly ten years later, And Then There Were None still impresses me with its distinct feeling of terror, guilt, and punishment. Originally published under the title Ten Little Indians, this short mystery delivers an immersive and intense experience right up to the last word.I remember that first time reading it; it was my introduction both to Agatha Christie and the genre of murder mystery. I was housesitting (thankfully, not by myself!) and swallowed the book in one evening. Then I went to bed and dreamt about it all night, it was that consuming. I had rarely read anything so gripping and grimly fascinating. As a classic of the genre, this story's plot is well known. Ten strangers are brought together for a luxurious vacation on Indian Island. None of them quite knows the host, but various inducements—carefully calculated for each person—outweigh their apprehensions. After dinner the first evening, a recording is played that accuses each person of committing a very specific murder or murders that were never punished. One man's reckless driving killed two children (he got off with a fine). A doctor operated while intoxicated and killed the woman under his hands (he was not discovered). A governess deliberately allowed her charge to swim out too far and be drowned (so her lover would inherit the fortune instead of the boy). One man caused the deaths of twenty-one natives somewhere in the bush. One woman's cruelty caused her pregnant, unwed servant to kill herself. And there are several others, all deaths that were more than accidental but somehow never punished. The purpose of Indian Island is to give these murderers their due, outside the reach of the law.The horrid fascination of the story comes into play with the realization that the ten strangers are alone on the island... and one of them is the murderer, slowly picking off his victims according to the old rhyme about the ten little Indians. The terror closes in as the number of Indian figurines on the table (originally ten, to correspond with the number of guests) continues to decrease as each murderer meets his demise. It makes you think about the nature of justice, if these "executions" were justified by the fact that the crimes were indeed committed or if execution is only just in the hands of the state. Hard to say.Of course, the plot is very farfetched and depends heavily on circumstances happening just right to allow each person to die in the fated way. It is all very improbable—but that doesn't take away any of the entertainment value. I won't give away the ending, widely known though it is. If you're new to the genre or to Christie, I can't think of a better place to start than this novel. Just make sure you have a good chunk of time to read it, because once you're in that world, you will want to stay until the resolution.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5AXTUAL RATING: 3.5
Hmmm i like how it went, and i'm glad for the closure at the end. But.. i feel like it was overly explained (the whodunnit and how but that's just me) ?
It was still an enjoyable read. I'd understand how others would get inspired by this
