so-soI know there is LOADS of love for Dame Agatha and especially Mr. Poirot, but I‘m just not amongst the fans. I find the humor stale and the characterization shallow. It‘s just a case of #ItsMeNotYou #DontRevokeMyLitsyLicense
julesG I like the films more than the books. 5y
CarolynM I read a lot of Agatha Christie in my early teens and liked them then, but I suspect I'd feel like you if I read them now. 5y
TrishB I love a good crime novel, but never liked Christie! 5y

Cinfhen Oh good!! I‘m in GREAT company @TrishB @CarolynM @julesG I think the films are campy and that works well 5y
blank I'm not a huge fan, either. She's not for everyone. 5y
TheAromaofBooks She isn't for everyone, and I also think that there is a wide range of quality among her books. Personally, I think the plotting is much tighter in her earlier books, while many of the later Poirot novels are a bit sloppy. I remember thinking that this was definitely one her more meh books - I thought it was an interesting choice to turn into a film this year. 5y
Scochrane26 I haven‘t read this one yet, but I loved the movie of Murder on the Orient Express a few yrs ago, so I want to see this movie. 5y
Cinfhen I‘m so happy to know others feel similarly about these books @laurenslibrary @TheAromaofBooks @Scochrane26 I thought I might be accused of blasphemy 🤭 5y
Scochrane26 @Cinfhen I do love some of her books, but I haven‘t really gotten too far into them yet. I‘ve read maybe 8-10 so far. I‘ll read Death on the Nile before the movie. I like the cast for the movie & enjoy Kenneth Branagh‘s mustache. 5y
Cinfhen Kennith Branagh makes a GREAT Poirot @Scochrane26 5y
KT1432 I loved Murder on the Orient Express (on audio narrated by Kenneth Branagh) but haven‘t read the other Poirot books. I read the Three Blind Mice story and hated it lol. I don‘t have much interest in the Miss Marple series except a couple. (edited) 5y
CafeMom I am reading The Murder of Roger Ackroyd which I think is Mr. Poirot's introduction. I am only 50 pages in but it hasn't grabbed me yet. I am glad that I am not alone. 5y
Cinfhen So nice to see others feel similarly @CafeMom @lele1432 I thought I was all alone in the Litsy corner 5y
