Book Review: Murder on the Orient Express, Agatha Christie

My favorite quote of the book:

– [...] It was like coming across a wild animal. – But he has the most respectable aspect... – Precisément! The body... The cage.. is truly respectable, but the wild animal lurks behind the bars.

My Full Review:

Having seen the 2017 adaptation, I'm fascinated by the different tones the author and the director give to the same story. Even Hercule Poirot, our cherised belgium detective, ends up having two very different personalities and morale: Book Poirot is a little more inclined to indulge in justice by one's hand, shielding the culprit from consecuences, while Movie Poirot is the unyielding spirit of righteous justice, impotent to enact it.

The mystery and the key details are esentially the same, but the movie and the book conduct the investigation in unique ways, the first having a thorough and more stereotypical "detective looking around" kind of search and register, while the book consists esentially of a series of interviews, with some witnesses going twice through interrogation when new information is revealed.

The whole cast of characters and suspects is endearing and quite charming, but it's so numerous it ends up not being explored very deeply, recurring to common class and nationality stereotypes of the time.

Despite already knowing the story and the ending, I read the novel in two days, Agatha Christie's books are very welcoming and friendly.

I kinda need to find blogs from people that post their own stuff (selfies, random pics, whatever) and not just reblog/repost. Any recommendations?
