Hickory Dickory Dock,
This review is from: Hickory Dickory Dock (Mass Market Paperback)
I absolutely loved this book! It was great! The only thing I didn't understand, and still don't understand is just WHY it's called Hickory Dickory Dock? The ending was so chilling I had to sleep with the light on! Poirot, as always, handled the case with the same patience and arrogance we have come to expect and love him for. This, along with Five Little Pigs, is Christie's best work as far as I'm concerned!

Disappointing,
By A Customer
This review is from: Hickory Dickory Dock (Mass Market Paperback)
Every now and then, even a fantastic author like Agatha Christie will produce a virtually unreadable book. This, in my opinion, is one of those books. Despite an intriguing premise, the story (which concerns a fairly uninteresting group of young college students) deteriorates somewhere in the middle and the reason for the random thefts takes an unusual and boring direction. The solution, which is arrived at with little of the skillful detection that Poirot is known for, is one of those types that you forget almost immediately after finishing. For first readers of Christie, please don't let this book influence your opinion of her quality. I STRONGLY recommend AND THEN THERE WERE NONE, MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS, THE MURDER OF ROGER ACKROYD, DEATH ON THE NILE, THE ABC MURDERS, and FIVE LITTLE PIGS, which rank among her very best.

1.0 out of 5 stars
the side plot, was terrible...,
By syouth@hem2.passagen.se (Sweden, Europe) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hickory Dickory Dock (Mass Market Paperback)
I'm only 19 years old, but yet a veteran at reading A.C novells. I have read about 30-32, of all the 55-full lenght novells,. I have to admit the I prefer Hercule Poirot, over Mrs Marple. Still this book features Poirot, and it is still one of the weakest of A.C:s books. I can only think of one that disliked moore, and that's "at bertrams hotell" (Mrs Marple). Anyway this book, is about a private studenthome, there things are not what they should be...Of course this leads 2 murder, after a while... What I didn't like about this book was the poor ending, and the ridiculos side plot,,,with a lillte taste of "organized crime", and call me old fashioned, but I just don't think it belongs in a detective novell.... But remember that this is only my humble opinion...read it and judge for yourself!
