And Then There Was None Book Report

A detailed Summary of And Then There Was None Book Report

Have you ever been in a dark, desolate room in complete seclusion from everyone else where you sense a presence nearby but when you turn around, nobody's there? Have you ever been so afraid that you can't sleep at night? I believe that anyone who is an actual human being can agree with me that, in some way, everyone has felt some kind of fear and excitement due to a scary movie, book, or even reality. After reading this novel by Agatha Christie, And Then There Were None, I can honestly say that there is a book out there that can give me the shivers. Never have I been so afraid of a fictional - based story that I wasn't able to go to sleep that very same night I finished the novel. Not only did the plot of the story keep me on the edge of my seat, but the personalities and the secretiveness of the characters kept me in suspense as well.

The novel takes place on Indian Island, a location known for publicity and curiosity, yet nobody knows for sure who owns this piece of land. In the beginning chapters of this book, you become familiar with the ten main characters who are out to spend an eight day vacation on this secluded island with only a vague invitation with some variety on each one. The descriptions of each charact

One of my favorite scenes of this novel pertains to one of the very last characters to stay alive on the island- Miss Vera Elizabeth Claythorne. A stubborn, spiteful woman who has nightmares about the child she once used to take care of and drowned in her presence. At one point in this book, Very leaves the remaining five individuals and goes up to her room to take a bath. As she steps into the bathtub, she seems to feel someone around her, but when she looks around, nobody's there. When she is finished with her bath, she steps out into the cold, crisp air and can sense the foul smell of seaweed. Slowly, she feels something pull around her neck-something firm and strong. She screams for help, but when the men come to save her, they don't find anything-only a piece of seaweed hanging from the ceiling. The way Christie put suspense and excitement into this scene gave me the biggest scare in the book. She can describe items and characters so well because she uses her imagination and she knows what can "spook" the audience.

er are specified clearly, yet each individual holds a secret that they wouldn't dare to share with anyone else on the island. When the guests each arrive in their rooms, they find a riddle called "Ten Little Indians" which plays a significant role throughout the book, for this riddle tells the death of ten men on an island (ironic, eh?). By night time, they are all acquainted with each other, until a noise projecting
