leamaura 's review for:
Hallowe'en Party
by Agatha Christie
This book definetely passes the vibe check: I'm not a fan of scary things, and Halloween is a festivity that I really like, but also hate because of the non-spoken rule that everything, from costumes to decorations, to movies to watch, have to be the scariest possible. This is a great compromise (and I will possibly steal some ideas for a Halloween party from here, it seemed so much fun!).
As an Agatha Christie book, though, it doesn't deliver the same quality as other books that I've read. It's a lot more straight-forward both in the premises and the execution. It is immediately clear where the story is going, and the path is filled with so many useless details it's almost boring.
I don't know if it's meant as a more "relaxed" story to introduce children to mistery books, or simply the author was a bit lacking in inspiration (seen how far on this book was published), but the atmosphere that usually surrounds these stories, was not quite there.
