Bob Al-Greene’s graphic novel adaptation of Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express adapts Dame Christie’s work in the stunning visual language of the graphic novel. He hews to the original plot, using his art to embellish Christie’s words rather than alter anything. Al-Greene’s character designs are particularly enjoyable, with each of the main cast distinctively rendered and situated in the opulence of the interwar luxury train operated by Compagnie Internationale des Wagons-Lits. His portrayal of Poirot is the most enjoyable, with all of Poirot’s unique expressions and mannerisms matching Christie’s description in her 1920 novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles: “He was hardly more than five feet four inches but carried himself with great dignity. His head was exactly the shape of an egg, and he always perched it a little on one side.” The original 1934 novel, Murder on the Orient Express, described Poirot as “a little man with enormous moustaches.” Personally, I prefer the neatly-shaped mustache David Suchet wore, but Al-Greene’s art honors these character descriptions to the letter. As this graphic novel demonstrates, Hercule Poirot remains as popular as ever, with the David Suchet’s portrayal concluding only a decade ago, Kenneth Branagh’s 2017 adaptation of Murder on the Orient Express and its two sequels, John Malkovich’s 2018 portrayal in the BBC adaptation of The ABC Murders, and the 2023 video game adaptation of Murder on the Orient Express from Microids and set in 2023. Bob Al-Green’s adaptation will delight fans of Poirot and is an excellent introduction for newcomers to this classic story of detective fiction! Writing: 4.5; Theme: 4.5; Content: 5.0; Langauge: 4.5; Overall: 4.5 This was only the second novel I've read from this well-known suspense author, Agatha Christie. The great Hercule Poirot must solve this classic murder mystery aboard the Orient Express, with the help of Drector M. Bouc and Doctor Constantine. There are many twists and turns throughout this wonderful novel. Christie shapes the characters nicely and keeps the reader enthralled in finding out who committed the dastardly crime of murder. Highly recommend. ***August 29. 2023*** Great fun, even (especially?) if murder mysteries aren't your usual thing. And as an added bonus, this episode of the Backyardigans makes a lot more sense.... Do read it... I have been wanting to read books by Agatha Christie for years, yet whenever I made it to a bookstore I would get lost in the aisles and forget about my desires. Luckily for me, Kennett Branagh decided to remake Murder on the Orient Express. The movie was fantastic and everything I wanted it to be, which gave me perfect reason to find the book and give it a shot! And it was INCREDIBLE. I'm amazed by how talented Agatha Christie was. The pure talent for writing shown in this book is so shocking, and it makes me desperate to read every other book she has written. Hopefully, I'll be able to find them in my adventures! This book is the 10th novel in the series, but it is very easy to pick up and start reading. I had no issue being pulled into the story and not wanting to put the book down. The language is a bit old fashioned (since it's an older book) so there may be a disconnect for some present readers, but that seemed to be the only issue I could find when I picked this book apart. In short, the plot for this book is there is a murder on the Orient Express train and Hercule Poirot (a wildly famous detective) is determined to solve it. The twist? Multiple suspects aboard a stalled train. The book is fun, fast paced and wildly addicting. If you love a good mystery, trying to solve this story is absolutely delightful! Everyone has an alibi and Poirot can only find out information by asking questions and looking at their reactions (because...GASP!...there's no electronic devices in the time period this book is set in). I knew the ending already from watching the movie, but trying to pick out the evidence that led to Hercule's final thoughts was so much fun! I scrambled along the way and enjoyed every second of this book. Overall, this book is a great read! If you want to read a classic, a mystery or just a fun book I really suggest this one! It'll keep you hooked and make your head spin in circles. Five out of five stars!
The book is filled with entertaining and descriptive events that will leave readers anticipating more. Estambul, pleno invierno. Poirot decide tomar el Orient Express que en esta época suele hacer su recorrido prácticamente vacío. Pero aquel día, el tren va lleno y sólo gracias a una buena amiga consigue una litera en el coche-cama. A la mañana siguiente se despierta, descubre que una tormenta de nieve ha obligado a detener el tren y que un americano, llamado Ratcher, ha sido apuñalado salvajemente. Aparentemente nadie ha entrado ni ha salido del coche-cama. El asesino, sin duda, es alguno de los ocupantes entre los que se encuentra una altiva princesa rusa y una institutriz inglesa.
