4.5/5 stars.

I love the book. I love the idea of it. The doors reminds me of childhood fears of monsters in the closet. For someone with highly imaginative mind, this book will get you in for a ride. I truly enjoyed mine.

I love how the parts are separated in “books”. My favourite book of all is The Ballad of Simon and Eleanor. Iʼm a sucker for romance and that we been knew of hehe.

What took the 0.5 stars away is the fact that some stories had me confused. For example, I didnʼt really enjoy The Secret Diary of Katrina Hawkins. Mainly because I was confused with what is happening there with her and the Collectorʼs Club.

Overall, great book. I enjoyed it. I loved it.

I think a lot of people already know the storyline so Iʼm gonna cut this short.

I love how the movie kept the originality of the story as much as they can because the similarity between the movie and the book is pretty much the same to me. Which I find very much pleasing, because often writers would change up the story a little bit for the sake of the movie which can only go two ways, either it is brilliant or it is ruined.

Other than that, I love how much more in depth the interrogations are in this book. How much details and precision in investigating the murder of Casetti. In comparison to the movie, I prefer the book better. It gives me more insight on every passengerʼs confessions during the interrogation. Though the ending is not as grand as the movie was, I still loved it. No one can match up to Hercule Poirotʼs brilliance. Not even New York detective, Cyrus Hardman.

My first Agatha Christie literature has left a positive impression on me and I look forward to collect more of her works in the future. A lot of people are already suggesting me to read “And Then There Were None”. I have heard nothing but great reviews of that literature and I definitely look forward to have my hands on a copy!

Along with Death on the Nile...

I love this book! I have been seeing a lot of my friends and people on bookstagram read this and most of them enjoyed it so I decided to give it a go. And let me tell you, the first mention of Romeo and Juliet had me sold. Iʼm a sucker for Romeo and Juliet, itʼs one of my favorite Shakespeare classics and the fact that the whole play that was going on in this book was based on it had. me. sold.

I have a little mixed-feelings about Megan. But also, I relate to her A LOT in my daily life. Sheʼs the kind of person that is selfless, puts everyone elseʼs happiness before hers that sometimes in the end, sheʼs doomed. Thatʼs me. I love taking care of people, and I do, especially with my friends. But often, I forgot about my own happiness, my own worth. What I deserve for myself. Itʼs refreshing to have a character to relate to.

Dear Owen Okita, gimme a proof that Cosima is at least real because even after I finished the book, I still DO NOT BELIEVE that Cosima is even real. And I oop- Also, I can totally imagine Gavin Leatherwood as Owen? I donʼt know why but I just do? Like a picture of him pops up in my head everytime I read of Owen? I donʼt know. Maybe Iʼm biased because heʼs my favourite actor but... yep.

Overall, I loved this book and definitely would re-read it again sometime in the future. Onto my next read!

*SPOILER WARNING!*

I loveeeee the whole plot. Although, I find it so not right that Jude “love” Madoc as her “foster father” despite witnessing Madoc killing both her parents when she was a kid. Like how do you love the person who kills your own family? I find that really weird and so not right. That is probably the only thing that makes me feel meh. But other than that, I love the whole storyline. I figured there was gonna be deaths at the coronation but what I did not expect was Madoc turning against Prince Dain and killing him. Practically the whole entire book is him speaking highly of how Prince Dain will be crowned king and how he is so sure of it. But then he was the one who stabbed Prince Dain himself. So that was the plot twist I didnʼt expect. Oh and Oak is actually Prince Dainʼs kid making him a direct heir to the throne!?!?! WhAT!?! gOD bless Oriana for raising Oak

Hauntingly beautiful. I’ve been wanting to read this book for such a long time now and when my friend got this book for me for my birthday, I am ECSTATIC. I love the story and the drama between Cathy and Heathcliff. The way they proclaim their secret love is so cliché but it is a classic after all. Love that. I was rather confused with the point of views at first until I finally catch up. I didn’t expect myself to be emotionally attached to this book but I surely did. Also, gotta say, Mr Lockwood and Nelly are like mom and toddler son, where the toddler keeps asking his mom for a bedtime story

The Murder of Roger Ackroyd is told from Dr. James Sheppard’s point of view. I was a bit confused at first because my first 2 Poirot books that I read was written in the third person point of view. So at first I was a bit dizzy trying to figure out who, but then I realized, oh it’s Dr. Sheppard because they address him quite a lot after.

The amazing thing about this book is the misdirections all throughout the book. Of course, Hercule Poirot, being him, he already figured it out way before us readers do. But… OH. MY. GOD. The plot twists to everything are confounding! One minute you thought this character was TOTALLY innocent but then found out they’re the most guilty one out of them all.

I love how in Christie’s book, there’s always graphics of the victim’s house or blueprints, it’s so exciting to see it. Gives us readers something to strengthen our imagination of the story even more. I love it when books have graphics like this. Looking forward to see it more in my future Poirot books or any of her books for that matter.

I would highly recommend this book to fans of crime literature. It is enthralling from the very first page. It will get you hooked for sure. 100/10 sure you will love it and want more as I do

I am completely in love with this book. My friend had suggested it to me ever since last year and we had a readalong together a few days ago.

Such a great story. Linaʼs character development is amazing. I love how unexpected Lina and Renʼs relationship was. With Ren together with Mimi, and Lina smitten of Thomas. I didnʼt see it coming at all. But after Thomas shown his brat, rich daddy, show-off side, I knew that they werenʼt gonna end up together.

Matteo was a complete shithead to deny Hadleyʼs journal and to deny Lina as his rightful daughter. He just doesnʼt want to take responsibility and that sucks. God bless for Howard. Despite not being Linaʼs biological father, he still wants to be there for her, to raise and care for her as his own after Hadleyʼs passing. Truly touching.

The sites mentioned in the book too made me felt like I was in Italy with them. Itʼs wonderful when a book can make you feel as if you travelled the world meanwhile you are just in the comfort of your own bedroom, reading of all these places while the characters are the ones who are living in it, seeing it, experiencing it. The last time I felt as if I was transported to somewhere was with the book Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins. It felt like I was in Paris with Anna and Étienne. But this, made me feel as if I was there living in the cemetery with Lina, Howard and Sonia. Running to Rome with Ren. Visiting Space with the others. Seeing paintings. Itʼs amazing. Hope I get to travel soon and experience all of this live in the future.
