It was Agatha Christie's birthday just a couple of days ago, so it seemed appropriate to read something from her imagination and I also needed a graphic novel for an autumn book bingo that I am trying to participate in!

It's a good teaser for people to start picking up Agatha Christie novels. This is actually one of my favourite stories but I feel that the story was too rushed granted it was only 42 pages. Wish it could have been longer.

Gostei bastante de revisitar a história, no entanto senti falta da narração original. Tendo em conta que é uma adaptação em banda desenhada, está bastante fiel, pelo menos daquilo que me lembro da história, e não deixa nada a desejar. Também apreciei bastante o traço, acho que condiz com o ambiente próprio da autora e do seu Poirot.

This is the English edition of a French graphic novel based on an English novel featuring a French-speaking Belgian and his French acquaintance... So the language gets a bit confusing at times! Also, due to the nature of the book, the story is presented as snapshots without smooth transitions, which makes it a bit hard to follow at times. Fortunately, having read the original novel several times helped me keep up. This being said, overall, I thought that putting Christie’s novels in graphic form is a fun exercise, and I might check out more books from this series eventually.

Got the graphic novel edition as a Christmas present and devoured it in a day. Amazing story.

After being disappointed by [b:The Murder Of Roger Ackroyd|1910840|The Murder Of Roger Ackroyd (Agatha Christie Comic Strip)|Bruno Lachard|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1347377036s/1910840.jpg|15945461], I was pleasantly surprised by this installation in the series. The train setting and distinctive cast of characters lend themselves well to the graphic novel format, and the nature of the mystery means that nothing important is lost if you can't keep track of every hint that's uncovered. Christie's story is a wild ride, and this adaptation does it a decent amount of justice.
