the latest book I read: And then there were none...

from Agatha Cristie:
ten people get an invitation to come to an island, called indian island. On the island is a big house and everyone gets a room. They get treapped together on the island and on the first night suddenly a gramaphone plate starts to play. A voice accuses al of the people of murder and the adventure begins. Later than evening one of the ten dies of asficiation. In al of the rooms there is a little nursery ryhme about indians and on the dining table stand ten china indians and as soon as the first person dies, on of the indians is gone...

The book was fun to read and very exciting, but a little bit easy and very predictable, because if you hold the nursery ryhme next to you, you know how the people are killed but not who and where. I finished the book very quickly because I wanted to know who the murderer was. I dn't think I'm going to read much more about Agatha Cristie because I find them a bit to predictable.

hello,

I've read another book; the diary of Anne Frank! I finished it in a week. I loved reading it, Anne was a very good writer. The book isn't so much about the war as I thought it would be. I mean of course there scenes where she talks about to war, and they were very afraid, but even those times are writen just splendidly. Also you notice the change she had been undergoing while she was writing the diary. altough there were lots of boring stuff in the house  but still she succeded in writing it down so interesting. The down side on the book is that it stops so abruptly and the her change isn't done yet. And I know it isn't fiction but it is so sad. The epilogue was the most depressing to read, the were al just killed a month or even days before to would have been gotten freed. This is probably the only book in Dutch literature I will ever like...
(That says something about how I think about Dutch literature)
