This was my first Agatha Christie book and I feel like I expected... more?
I had to push myself to continue reading until I reached about half of the book. To me, it started being painfully slow, but after thefirst murder things started to pick up a faster pace.
I started to enjoy it towards the end, where the details start being revealed.
I think it can still be a good read for whoever enjoys mystery and murder stories, just know that it'll start slow! Plus, getting to remember all of the names at the beginning was really confusing.
I wouldn't say I enjoyed it 100% but some chapters did keep me entertained.
If someone asked me if I liked it I would say "meeeh" or "it was alright" meaning that I wouldn't re-read it.

The only book I have liked from her is Murder on the orient express, it was the only good book that I liked.
I could give it a 2.5 but thats pushing it.
The movie was just okay as well, the movie was not anything thrilling to me.
The movie was just mediocre, so was the book.
The book was very very boring

Honestamente, me pareció demasiado aburrido y tal vez la redacción de Ágatha Christie no es para mi o tal vez no sé apreciarla, pero me parecen demasiado burdos. Desde mi punto de vista, sus libros están escritos para hacer creer al lector que no hay nadie que pueda resolver un misterio más que Hércules Poirot, y sí, obvio es la trama de sus historias, que él los resuelva pero, se omiten detalles que al final Hércules saca de repente y resuelve todo en un par de páginas.
Sus libros son misteriosos? Sí.
Tienen suspenso? Sí, pero creo que es el resultado deliberado de que solo una persona pueda resolver algo, como si escondieras información o no revelaras algo a propósito para tener a la gente esperando qué va pasar y podría ser redactado de una manera más natural, pero en estos libros no lo es.
Prefiero las adaptaciones a peliculas, al menos son entretenidas.

I have read Hercule Poirot books before, most notably the ABC Murders, and just didn't enjoy him much. Death on the Nile, however, was much more enjoyable. It may have helped that I listened to the audio book read by David Suchet, who is spectacular, and lends Poirot a genial benevolence that the voice in my head previously didn't have. Fun, twisty story.
