Reviews

[Nola Lorraine · Rating 2 out of 5]

This is a short graphic novel based on Agatha Christie's novel of the same name. Hercule Poirot is called to France by a Mr Renaud who fears for his life. Unfortunately, the man is killed before Poirot arrives. Another murder follows not long after and it is up to Poirot to solve the crimes.

I picked up this book cheaply at a library sale and thought I'd give it a go. However, I found it a bit confusing. There were a lot of characters to keep track of, and it jumped around a bit. Part of the problem could have been that I read it in bits and pieces, so it was hard to keep the plot in my head. But it's also probably the nature of the genre. When you condense a full-length book into a short graphic novel, some linkages between scenes are bound to be cut. I feel like I need to read it again, but I didn't enjoy the story enough to want to do that.

The illustrations were good and gave it a 'noir' feel. If you like Agatha Christie, but would like a short read, you might enjoy this book.

Αν και το σχέδιο είναι συμπαθητικό παρόλο που δεν ταιριάζει ιδιαίτερα σε αστυνομική ιστορία, η προσαρμογή σεναρίου είναι κάκιστη. Ο Riviere για κάποιο λόγο έχει αφαιρέσει σημαντικότατα σημεία της πλοκής από το βιβλίο με αποτέλεσμα ο αναγνώστης του graphic novel να χάνει μεγάλο μέρος τόσο της υπόθεσης όσο και της απόλαυσης του κόμικ (π.χ. ο ρόλος του μεταλλικού σωλήνα που εμφανίζεται μια μόνο φορά σε ένα καρέ ενώ αποτελεί ένα από τα σημεία κλειδιά).

Κραταω ομως την πιθανότητα να μην φταίνε οι δημιουργοί αλλά η μεταφράστρια, ακόμα και ένα λάθος στην μετάφραση μιας αστυνομικής ιστορίας και δη σε κόμικ που τα μπαλονάκια περιέχουν συμπυκνωμένη πληροφορία σελίδων του βιβλίου μπορεί να δώσει τελείως λάθος εντύπωση στον αναγνώστη.

Ελπίζω οι υπόλοιπες μεταφορές να είναι πιο επιμελείς και καλογραμμένες.

Eh.... nice short graphic novel

[Anna · Rating 2 out of 5]

picked this up on accident and honestly I don't think this has spoilt the original version for me. I did like the art style, especially on Poirot, but the women looked the same and Hastings wasn't handsome at all :/

Picked this up at the library, I like Agatha Christie and graphic novels so I was curious to try it, the art style was interesting and I ESPECIALLY liked the design of Poirot, nice round head and thick moustache 🥸 The story was pretty confusing though, as some people have said, a lot of characters to keep track of and scenes disjointed, probably from cramming a full book into a short graphic novel, but then I didn’t have any problems with the other two I picked up, maybe this book had a more complicated plot and when the murderer was revealed I was like “Wait, who?” Again, having trouble keeping track of the characters - So yeah, two stars, sorry to give it such a low score especially when it has such nice art but I just couldn’t understand it, which is kind of the point in a murder mystery 😅

Read the book and enjoyed the artwork. I've read other adaptations of Christie's work into graphic novels and this follows similar features, but with a lot more holes in the plot. The continuity between sections could have been improved. Someone more familiar with the story would probably have automatically filled in the data but not for someone new to the story. Will continue to look out for more.

Favourite Quote:

Dibikin muter2 mikir sama pak poirot🙏 respect atas segala kecerdikan beliau dan hastings, meskipun ada konflik internal antar keduanya tp kasus berakhir dgn baik
Orang yg jahat di masa lalu cenderung punya kesempatan dan keinginan untuk berbuat jahat kembali

[M.L.D. · Rating 3 out of 5]

Enjoyable enough, and I like the art, but the resolution of the mystery always gets crammed in at the end in these graphic adaptations and doesn't feel very satisfying (and not fully explained!).

[Coralie Lambert · Rating 1 out of 5]

Une BD qui reprend un roman d'Agathe Christie. Mais l'intrigue est assez décousue et la fin arrive comme un cheveu sur la soupe. Bref, une adaptation ratée.

[Tapani Aulu · Rating 3 out of 5]

Poirot on aina kivaa luettavaa - myös sarjakuvamuodossa. Mutta tämä ei ollut näistä adaptaatiosta parhaasta päästä.

[Alexandros Pipilis · Rating 4 out of 5]

Πολύ ωραίο βιβλίο μυστηρίου από την Αγκάθα Κρίστι

[Lian Siahaan · Rating 5 out of 5]

Kali ini kecele kirain udh berakhir ternyata penuh kejutan diakhir yg sama sekali ga bisa ketebak pembaca super seru

[Yan · Rating 2 out of 5]

Not recommended to readers who have not read any of Agatha Christie novels or this title in particular. That graphic novel is very watered down and incoherent to the uninitiated.

[Tracy · Rating 2 out of 5]

Talk about a complicated plot! I have tried to read the normal novel version, but failed and I can see why. One and a half stars for the graphics, half a star for the plot. Not one of a Agatha Christie's best.

[Lucy Brittain · Rating 5 out of 5]

💙I loved this as a who dun it mystery I loved the art work and didnt expect all the twists and turns and the characters that appeared and disappeared as quick as they arrived.

[Laura Anne · Rating 4 out of 5]

My favorite illustrations/adaption from the Agatha Christie inspired comic books.

[Ailidh · Rating 3 out of 5]

It was OK

[Mukesh Kumar · Rating 2 out of 5]

[2.5 * - mostly for the pictures ]
Really pretty pictures. Passable story. Would be great for a teenage just stumbling out of comics.

[Sae-chan · Rating 1 out of 5]

The Indonesian edition was very poorly translated. I have no clue what's going on although I have read the original novel. Shame on you Gramedia!

[David Miller · Rating 3 out of 5]

It had a great storyline. But was very confusing and too fast paced. I wish it was easier to understand.

[Beth Younge · Rating 3 out of 5]

A charming little version of Agatha Christie's novel. I thought the illustrations were charming and I thought Poirot looked adorable. A lovely introduction to the famous Belgium detective!

[Maria Birnell · Rating 3 out of 5]

OK, but not one of my favorites.

[Abimalek Valsan]

Good and A little exciting an ordinary book
