I thought that the writing was actually really good and liked the pacing a lot, considering the book took place over like 3 days top, but it was still faced paced enough for me to not get bored I thought that was really well done. i also just overall enjoyed the plot of the book and though I did find our main detective to be a little arrogant and cocky, I did enjoy the narration and I do think I will pick up another book from the Hercule Poirot series at some point.
I did have a few problems with this book though. The first being that there were just way to many characters for me. I mean there were
My last and biggest problem with the book was the ending. basically in the ending
Not only did that ending not sit right with me but the way that we got to the ending was just rushed and sketchy to me. I mean I was ok with all the stuff that we were learning and then all of the sudden I felt like Poirot was just pulling guesses out of the air and they all ended up being right cause he's some sort of genius detective, but in reality its because they needed an ending and didn't know how to get us there without making it way to obvious.
All in all I liked the writing and the plot, but I didn't feel connected with the characters and I HATED the ending. 3.75 stars.

All of this is not to put aside the just constant and casual eugenics-think and British racism.
