DID NOT FINISH: 13%

The premise of the books sounds so good, but I thought none of the characters were actually interesting and the writing didn't work for me at all.

I read this a dozen times as a kid and still loved it. As an adult I appreciate the social and political commentary in a way I was never on top of as a kid. I can tell the Agatha Christie influences in a way I couldn't back then, too. Easily one of my favorite books, and I'm glad to know it holds up.
