I am proud to call this my first Agatha Christie book I've read. I have to say that it's my most favorite murder mystery story and I don't think I'll ever forget it.maddierandolph's review against another edition

I thought the story was predictable, the characters uninteresting, the writing alright, and the ending a bit unsatisfying. I don’t believe this is a terrible story, I just don’t understand how it is as popular as it is. To be honest, I just don’t really get the hype.
All of the characters were unremarkable. None of them were likable; I didn’t find myself caring if any of them would die.
I liked some of the writing, there were a lot of passages I thought were excellent; but a lot of words were very repetitive. Imagine if you counted how many times the word “queer” was used.
The ending didn’t satisfy me very much. I think open endings can be done super well, but this felt lazy. Like, obviously I want to know who was behind all this. In the epilogue, two people detail a bunch of evidence that shows no one on the island were responsible for the murders, and you THINK you may get your answer on who was the murderer, but you never do! There is no explanation or hints whatsoever and it feels unfinished, as if the author didn’t know how to end the story and show who the murderer was, so they just didn’t.
Wasn’t a horrible book, but it wasn’t the terrific masterpiece many say it is. Considering it may of been the first island mystery though, that gives it a lot of credit in my opinion.
