Hi,
How are you doing on this very fine day? I hope you're all doing super well! As promised, I told you people to expect a blog post soon and here it is. Guess what it is? You probably read the title. It's a mystery/thriller book review!

Before I begin, we all should do the ritual of a little disclaimer sh!t where I point out that I am no expert in reviewing books, I just write what I feel. There are a lot of amazing reviewers here on web, I am just a novice.

I grabbed this mystery novel by Agatha Christie which is apparently known as her 'masterpiece'. I really wanted to feel surprised and say, 'Oh my God! I didn't see that coming!' I was hoping it'll make me feel like that so I started reading And Then There Were None on 9th February, 2016 to be precise. I finished it right after six days and here are my SPOILER FREE thoughts/review.

This book is basically about ten people who are lured into coming to an island by a complete stranger under different pretexts, e.g. offers of employment or to enjoy a late summer holiday, or to meet old friends.

Island and party? I AM COMING FOR YA!



Things aren't always how we expect them now are they dear child?

Then it happens, through a gramophone, they are all accused of committing murders and it's just not like 'HEY YOU, YOU COMMITTED SO-AND-SO'S MURDER.' There are complete details of each murder that is being announced.
Everybody is shocked of course and obviously they don't confess rather defend themselves saying, 'Oh no no, they're mad! I didn't do it! It happened accidentally!'

However, within few minutes, one of them dies. *GASPS!* How? I ain't telling you! But here's something to interest you, murders are being executed in a manner that seems to parallel the ten deaths in the nursery rhyme (click to read!) Thou scared yet?

So they all seem to then realize the above fact that it's no coincidence and that everything is going according to the murderer's plans. Now all they have to do is find out who is the killer and be safe. Is it someone from outside? Supernatural? Or...is it one of them? Dun dun dunnnn
Will they able to find out? Who is it? And what's the motive? 













I ain't telling you! MUAHAHAHAHH!

Since this review is SPOILER FREE I will refer to certain characters as random alphabets.
At first (not really first but in the middle) I was so sure about A being the murderer and then it changed to B, later my suspicion shifted towards D and then it came back to A.

Yes this actually happened. After my suspects started to become victims, my exact reaction was;
When I didn't read the epilogue, I was like;

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? THIS CAN'T END LIKE THAT! 

Later when everything was in front of me, I was startled by every single thing. 
That's pretty much it! I praise Agatha Christie for such an incredible plot and it's execution. Honestly it was mad genius! The way everything was planned left my mouth hanging. *Slow clap* 

So, did you like this review? Are you interested in reading this book? Or have you read it already? What do you think?

It's not like half the world was waiting but I feel obliged to present my reason for a slight delay in the blog post,

I am lazy and nobody reads these.

I know what you are wondering. You are wondering why this blog post is targeting google when in fact, the platform given for targeting is by google? The reason is, I am not afraid of anybody and it's true.  I'll ramble about whatever, whoever and whenever I like because that's what I have been taught. To speak up to the things that bother you.

I know what you are wondering at this exact moment. You are wondering when will she start her story already? I wanna know why is she mad at google. I know you all just care too much about me so here goes.

I am currently watching this TV show called Grey's Anatomy. If you watch the show, you know how it ruins your life in a good way. If you don't, well, you should if that's you genre. Anyway, I really like this character in the show. We'll call him Mr. Handsome Face just to avoid spoilers. So I do what every normal sucker for middle aged celebrities would do. I googled Mr. Handsome Face.

Now, just listen to what the dearest google did to me.

I typed in his name, Mr. Handsome Face and Google thinks it's that know-it-all kid in the class who gets asked,

"Google, what is the name of the biggest star?"

Answers, "Sun is the largest star and also Mitochondria is the power house of the cell."

So Google suggests me it's crazy suggestions which were as follows;

Mr. Handsome Face death

Mr. Handsome Face death scene

Sitting on my computer chair, totally numb from any thought processes. I scream internally!

DEATH SCENE?? You are telling me that he dies?!
HOW AM I TO DIGEST THIS INFORMATION VIA GOOGLE SUGGESTIONS? WHAT IS THIS? IS THIS A JOKE TO YOU?

I put my freaking energy and feelings into this character and you.....just like that?

I am kind (no, I am mad pissed) of pissed at Google for this sudden revelation.

But anyway, I am very forgiving and a really nice person at heart so I might forgive Google for this really hurtful trick it played on me.
The bottom line is spoilers really make me mad. My mood will turn from 100 to 0 real quick if I stumble across a spoiler of my fav TV series or a movie or a book.

What about you? I'd love to hear your stories about your TV series/Movie/Book getting spoiled. Comment down below and we'll have a chat about it.

Until next time,

P.S Google, what I said about not being afraid of anybody, yeah, no. Please don't delete my poor little blog.
