Sep 23, 2020TEENREVIEWCREW rated this title 4 out of 5 stars
This novel is astounding. I was not in the least surprised to find that this work was not only incredibly riveting, but also very intriguing. I had a blast attempting to discover "who dun it" whilst the focus of Detective Hercule Poirot transferred from suspect to suspect. I was very curious to find out who committed the crime. Christie intensifies this desire by writing chapters that end with cliffhangers. These cliffhangers leave readers hungry for more. On the other hand, some of the cliffhangers are not as suspenseful as others. Some of the chapters are dry, but they end with stronger cliffhangers to add a suspenseful element that reminds readers why they cracked the spine of a mystery novel in the first place. This only adds to the brilliance of Christie's work of art. I highly suggest that everyone read Agatha Christie's The Murder of Roger Ackroyd for it is a spectacular murder case expressed through terrific writing. Four stars! - @BlingThrash15 of the Teen Review Board at the Hamilton Public Library
