A review by fadoua_05
Hercule Poirot's Christmas by Agatha Christie

4.0

I enjoyed reading about these characters . They were soooo funny . The person who was murdered was the funniest character in all of the Christie books I've read so far .

Some of the conversations/ quotes I found hilarious :
1/
“In Spain we have a proverb. It is like this:
“Take what you like and pay for it, says God.”
Simeon beat an appreciative hand on the arm of his chair.
“That’s good. That’s the stuff. Take what you like . . . I’ve done that—all my life—taken what I wanted. . . .”
Pilar said, her voice high and clear, and suddenly arresting:
“And you have paid for it?”
Simeon stopped laughing to himself. He sat up and stared at her. He said, “What’s that you say?”
“I said, have you paid for it, Grandfather?”
Simeon Lee said slowly:
“I—don’t know. . . .”

“Yes. I like to see people get angry. I like it very much. But here in England they do not get angry like they do in Spain. In Spain they take out their knives and they curse and shout. In England they do nothing, just get very red in the face and shut up their mouths tight.”
