一個都不留 And then there were none

Aug 8, 2006

Finally, I finished Copy Cat Criminal 模仿犯. This book is huge. The story is very interesting that I couldn't read Faucoult's Pendunum at the same time. Anytime, I can read it another time. While I almost finish CopyCat, I found out a book called And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie. I knew his name when I was 14/15. I remember it's my teacher Ms. Ho suggested me to read her books but ...........during that time, I was intoxicated with Akagawa Jiro. It turned out that I was very superficial to have spent so much of my YOUTH time to read many of his novels. I firstly read Christie's novel is Oriental Express. This book is well known classic and I remember even Akagawa sensei quoted this story in one of his novel too. Anyway, recently, I happened to have read a breif note about this book and it attracted me immediately. The story sounds to me very classic type and there are many stories deviated from it. Therefore, I am very eager to read it now. I reserved the book at public library. I have decided not to buy novel(except English novels). I think I can pick up a few days later.



I bought a new book "Seven Deadly Wonders" by . I have waited its paperback release for so long time. It's too expensive for me to buy the hardcover edition.

But I can't read it now. I will read the detective novel first.







Aug 13. I finished "And Then Here Were None". This book is very interesting indeed. The Tragedy is wonderful. But I think the breakpoint to see the true killer is rather difficult, even when I think back the plot and layout. SPOILER: How can I find out the killer when the Judge was "killed"? The first five death cases were by no means to know the killer identity. Last one is done by herself. 2nd the last is done by last one. So both of them are not killer. 3rd the last was killed by stone. Doctor was lost. I think doctor is the key point to know the true killer.
