And Then There Were None book review

Just a few years ago, I read my first murder mystery, A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder, and really enjoyed it. Since then, I have become a lover of any type of murder mystery so when I was recommended the book And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie I wanted to read it. So now I will give my honest opinion on Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None.


The book opens with ten people who were invited to an island by someone claiming to be a person each one of them knows. None of them know each other and, upon further inspection, the person inviting them is different for each and every person. Their host isn’t there to greet them either, only two servants who were sent to the island a week earlier, by an unknown employer. However, when they sit down for dinner, a strange message is played on the gramophone and shortly afterwards, one of them is found dead. Now nine people must find out who is the murder and get off the island before it is too late and there are none of them left. 


I loved this book. It constantly keeps you on your toes and doesn’t give you closure until the very end of the book. This book was super interesting, and the plot was amazing. I don’t really know how to put my feelings about this book into words, but I 100% recommend it to anyone who loves a good murder mystery.

Book Review of The Selection

Image
When this book was recommended to  me by a couple of my friends, I decided to read it with high hopes, and it did not disappoint. In The Selection , the country of Illea is sorted into 7 social classes: One (royalty), Two (celebrities), Three (intellectuals, like teachers, inventors, doctors, etc.), Four (businessmen), Five (performers and artists), Six (servants), and Seven (manual labor). Our protagonist, America Singer—a Five—is one of 35 girls between the ages of 16 and 22 chosen to participate in the Selection. For context, the Selection is a competition to marry the crown prince, Maxon, and become the crown princess. As the 35 Selected gather in the palace to compete, America not only must survive the cut-throat competition, but she must also stay safe when the palace is attacked by rebels. At first America did not want Maxon’s affection. She only attended the Selection to avoid her boyfriend, whom she got into a fight with. However, as she befriends Maxon, something more t...

My honest opinion on Neal Shusterman’s Scythe

Image
  I love dystopian novels, anything from the genre I will read and probably enjoy. One day, I decided to read one of Neal Shusterman’s books, Unwind , which probably scarred me for life, so my brilliant brain thought “Hey! Why not read another” so here we are.  Scythe takes place far in the future, where humans have eliminated hunger, disease, and even death. However, with the human population out of control, society created a force of people called “scythes” with licenses to kill, each having to glean a specific number of people each week. Scythes are treated as elite beings, because they are the sole causes of death in the world. Citra and Rowan are pulled from their friends and families to become apprentices to a scythe and have to learn the “art” of killing. Ok, so… this book is hard to read. Scythe has been banned and challenged a lot and I 100% understand why, it is dark and gory at times (especially in the latter half), and this society has very different, and kind of ...

Book Review: The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

Image
      The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins will always be my favorite dystopian book series. I fell in love with the genre after reading it for the first time in 5th grade. It was like a whole new world I entered. Back then, I always thought that the main character, Katniss Everdeen, was so old. As I look back at it now, I realize she was so young, being only 16 at the time.        The story centers around Katniss Everdeen who volunteers to take her 12 year old sister's place in the annual Hunger Games. The Hunger Games is a nationally televised event when one girl and one boy between the ages 12-18 are selected by lottery to participate in a fight to death until one remains. The last person alive gets awarded as the "victor" and gets to live in the wealthiest part of their district called the Victor's Village. The purpose of the Hunger Games is to remind each of the 12 districts the power and control the Capitol holds on the distric...
