- lisper 9y agoOh yeah, that one too. I didn't put it on my list because, ironically, I never read it. I saw the play when I was a kid so I never bothered to read the book.
- jjess 9y agoActually, original title by Agatha Christie was "Ten Little Niggers" [1]. I didn't read the book, but I really liked the movie [2] (there is eng subs). People in reviews say it's closest and probably best adaptation. IMO, it's excellent.

- emodendroket 9y agoWhile that is true I can't see why it's relevant. You're not going to find it under that title except maybe at an antique book seller.
- baud147258 9y agoIn France, the original title is still used ("10 petits nègres"). I read the book, but I did not really enjoyed it. But it was a long time ago, I might have been to Young. Or maybe it was the style, which was very different from what I was used to at the time (mostly Ellis Peters)
- thewhitetulip 9y ago> "And Then There Were None" This is a fascinating book indeed.
