And Then There Were None -Agatha Christie #2.

This book reminds me a lot of the movie Clue. You have a group of strangers, who don't know each other, and have never seen one another. They seem to have something in common with one another, but you can't really tell what it is. They all happen to be go to the same destination, to a place where they've never been. I feel that something will happen once they get to Indian Island. Another "clue" that's kind of creepy is, Indian Island is nothing but rocky cliffs and trees. There is one big house at the top of the mountain. With there binning nothing but rocks and trees, you have to remember that you're on an Island (surrounded by water). You wouldn't be able to escape if you wanted to (if something were to happen). No one would be able to escape death in this setting. The situation that these people are putting them selves into is so......just not a good feeling.

In chapter two Vera Claythorne found a poem or riddle that she remembered from her child hood days:

And Then There Were None (poem)

Ten little Indian boys went out to dine;
One choked his little self and then there were nine.

Nine little Indian boys sat up very late;
One overslept himself and then there were eight.

Eight little Indian boys travelling in Devon;
One said he'd stay there and then there were seven.

Seven little Indian boys chopping up sticks;
One chopped himself in halves and then there were six.

Six little Indian boys playing with a hive;
A bumblebee stung one and then there were five.

Five little Indian boys going for law;
One got in Chancery (shot) and then there were four.

Four little Indian boys going out to sea;
A red herring swallowed one and then there were three.

Three little Indian boys walking to the Zoo;
A big bear hugged one and then there were two.

Two little Indian boys sitting in the sun;
One got frizzled up and then there was one.

One little Indian Boy left all alone;
He went and hanged himself and then there were none.

I think this poem that stood in front of the fireplace foreshadows what will happen further into the novel.

As I read more of the book, it seems like all of the strangers have something from there past to hide. Like Vera doesn't like to think of the sea for some reason. And Dr. Armstrong was very anxious to find out more about the people on the Island, and the people how owned the Island.

So, I don't know what to think about the story now because all of the charters seem as suspicious suspects (I kind of get an eerie feeling). This novel reminds me allot like the movie Clue.
