I'm turning 14 in about 2 weeks :) I've been obsessing over A.C for about a year, on my birthday it all started when I had a murder party, and I watched Death on the Nile to get character ideas! I want to collect as many books as possible!

I'm 14! And A.C. is my favourite since... well... a couple of years

but I started with the film murder in the orient express. half a year later I was also obsessed with the books. My best friend, too. I could infect her with reading them but my second friend doesn't understand why we love reading classics.

@ ArlenaSMarshall: I'm just preparing a book presentation for school 'bout five little pigs!

Dindda-

You're not boring me. I thought I was boring you!!! Have you read 5 little pigs? I just watched the movie and I thought it was good. I'll probably read next once I finish The Murder of Roger Ackroyd.

Sorry for not replying earlier, but thanks for the suggestions.

ArlenaSMarshall-

Thanks. I went to a bookstore and bought ( well, to be fair, my dad actually did the the buying ) And Then There Were None and Murder On The Orient Express. I read Murder On The Orient Express first and I have re-read it at least ten times. ( I knew the ending, as I have already watched the film adaptation with Albert Finney ) When I read And Then There Were None, I was desperate to find out the identity of the murderer.

I guess I am boring you all to tears. I'll stop... NOW.

Dindda-

I strongly reccomend you read And Then There Were None. It's her absolute best novel hands down.

I'm 13. So I think I'm between an adult and a kid. I started loving Agatha since I was 10 or younger. Agatha Christie is the best mystery writer ever!!!!!!

My first book was "And then there was None." I read it in high school, but here in New York channel 11 would always show the original movie, so I could compare the ending with the book. I am now 41 and have most of her books and movies, nothing is better on a rainy day than a visit with Miss Marple Or Poirot!

I'm 14 and I started reading Agatha Christie when I was 12. The book was in my school library. It was "The ABC Murders".

I started reading AC when I felt I had outgrown 'The Famous Five'. I'm not sure how old I was then, but I'm 28 (nearly 29) now and still love rereading the books over and over again, especially the Poirot books. I also like to listen to the audio books.

I think 'The Mysterious Affair at Styles' is a good book to start with, being the first Poirot.

Oh well sorry dindda, but I'm certain that in the UK you would still have an easy time finding Christie novels at the library, even if the system works differently.

I also like the Murder at the Vicarage. My fave detective is also Hercule Poirot. I love David Suchet being the famous Hercule Poirot.

...hey to dinddapoirotlover...check the library. You can even check the library search engine and find all the Christie mysteries that are in the entire county -not just your local branch where you live- if you are in the United States.
