ミステリー小説の生みの親と聞いたので、読んでみた。クラシックミステリだからか、何だか全体的に表現が、古い。
しかもキャラが多すぎて、誰が誰なのかよくわからなくなったので、途中からAudibleに笑
うーん、良さはわからなかったけど、教養として読んでよかったと思う。詳細をみるコメント0件をすべて表示 -
高校以来まともに英語で本を読んでなかったけど、久しぶりに読んで良かったやつの一つ。阿笠博士の元ネタ作者

やっぱり名作中の名作。映画もドラマも見たけど、どれも追い付けない。孤立した島、荒れる天候のなか、人が恐怖もあまり狂っていく様子が説得力をもって語られる。見事です。

「そして誰もいなくなった」の原著をaudiobookで。翻訳を最近読み返したばかりだからキャッチしやすく、部分的に聞きとれるだけでも場面を思い出してワクワクした。
原著買って見ながら聴くのもいいなぁ。何度読んでも面白い作品だからこその楽しみ方。 -
They are invited to the isolated island by a figure of mystery, Mr Owen.
They have apparently no relation with each other.
At the first dinner, suddenly a voice come from somewhere and it reveals their crimes.
And then, they are killed one by one with following ”Soldier Boys", which is a folk song.
At first, I thought it is hard to understand the story in English, because there were so many characters.
However, while continuing to read it, I felt down to the story. The climax was so thrilling.
As a matter of fact, "the unexpected guest" is better than this "And then there were none".
That is because the former didn't make me expect the criminals at all, but I was totally convicted by its hints. -
