joeybiophd 's review for:
Murder on the Orient Express
by Agatha Christie
Warning to parents: this book contains blatant racism and parents should discuss the faulty views that were pandemic to pre-WWII. Example: "Assuredly," said Poirot. "Especially in the heat of a quarrel. But this- this is a different type of crime. I have the little idea, my friend, that this is a crime very carefully planned and staged. It is a far-sighted, long-headed crime. It is not, how shall I express it?, a Latin [Italian] crime. It is a crime that shows traces of a cool, resourceful, deliberate brain- I think an Anglo-Saxon brain."
I do not think this book has any value in 2018; the logic was faulty, there was no science involved, and the book is filled with stereotypes, racism, and misogyny. The value of the book comes from Poirot and the humor associated with his mustache; a great and interesting character.
