Ten by Gretchen McNeil

3.0

Your enjoyment of some books sometimes comes down to expectations. When I first heard about Ten by Gretchen McNeil, it reminded me of the Point Horror books I read as a kid. It's a bit more modern, but that's basically what this is. There’s a party on an island, ten teens, and one by one they start to die. There's no great literary aspirations or great meaning, but sometimes that's what you want as a reader.

I wasn't aware it was based on Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None. I guess if you know the story a lot of what happens might not be a surprise but it is only very loosely based from the sound of it. There's no racist nursery rhyme and everything's more within the boundaries of modern teenagers.
