Agatha Christie and the Eleven Missing Days by Jared Cade

Enjoy!

I've gotten to the point where she has disappeared. This isn't great writing. This story should be riveting and its not. The writing seems perfunctory. I'm not giving up.

I read this book a while ago and it was very bland. I kept waiting on it to get really good and it never really happened. I was dissapointed with it.

Yes, bland. That says it all. I mean, the information is there, it's just presented in such an uninteresting manner.

Yes. It's a shame as it had potential to be great

I've just got to the end of Part one. I agree with all the other comments in that it's fairly blandly written. The information is interesting enough but it reads more like a history text book that provides facts. I'm not giving up though.

Well, I've finally struggled through to the end. What a dull book. I kept thinking it was bound to get better and it just didn't.

Not related to the book, but to Agatha Christie, I thought this was cool: http://www.howtobearetronaut.com/2011...

Who would think of Agatha Christie as a surfer? I wouldn't have thought it. That's funny.

Parts of Cornwall are known for their 'surf' - wonder if Agatha Christie kept up the hobby back in the UK?!
