Death on the Nile by Agatha Christie

medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.0

Super disappointed by this one. I saw the movie first, so I sort of knew how it would end (the movie is fucking terrible by the way), and hoped the book would be better. For starters, I listened to the audiobook and the narrator was HORRIBLE, so I’m sure that contributed to how much I disliked it. He made all the characters twice as miserable as they already were, the pacing was off, and it just did such a huge disservice to the story. I didn’t love the details of the story much either, to be honest, so not sure it would have made much of a difference in the end. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 

Even though the movie was god awful, I actually think they handled a few scenes better than the book handled them. The big confrontation in the end of the movie was far more entertaining than the book, and still stayed true to the plot. Anyway, I’m just rambling now. This one was a big fat 👎🏻
