DESCRIPTION:
Very informative. Mr Brendan Stott As a fan of Agatha Christie and having bought quite a fewbooks about Agatha Christie this book in 503 pages is veryinformative about her live books and more excellent this isnumber one on my Agatha Christie book list, thumbs up. :-). The Most Useful Book on Earth I can't BELIEVE this book is out of print; I would have thought it would never happen! If you've read at least under 20 of Agatha's books, then the Companion would make your day. If you've read them all, it is still undroppable. Every single book, play, and movie of AC's are listed in it. The books are gone into in great detail, telling the circumstances of their creation, what AC though about them, what various reviewers at the time thought about them, who is in them, and what they are about. Did you know AC was writing 'N or M?' as a hospital nurse at . A Customer said Read the novels FIRST. This book is a treasure trove of interesting information on Agatha Christie and her works. But, despite the authors' attempts not to give anything away there are definitely times where they do. The entry on "Mirror Crack'd" completely gives away the solution to the mystery. It's done via an anecdote explaining the inspiration for the story but, nevertheless, it would be a dim reader who didn't immediately see where the novel was going after reading the entry about it. And there are other instances too where too much information is given.So, buy this book
'. Dennis Sanders and Len Lovallo have provided a reference for Christie, fans, with a wealth of information on the Grand Dame of Mystery. Agatha Christie is the world''s most popular crime writer
