The style in which the story is written makes it worth the read, but also makes it tremendously fun! Christie's name is used as a sales point, but alt ough she writes a very good chapter, the later chapters are really the most fun, with the most tangles to detangle!
What I enjoyed the most is to tackle the mystery chapter by chapter by chapter and I was very gratified to see a list of solutions provided by each author at the end! It's nice to know when you got the intented thread, but it's also extremely amusing when you have so many possibilities you just can't imagine what the next author really had in mind when they change the perspective!
Overall, great experience! Just... Well, the writing. It's a bit jarring changing from one writer to the next, it took me a while to get the spirit of the thing.
