Oh my. I had never read this. Of all the books about the holocaust and the horrors of the concentration camps, I think this is the most brutal one I have read. Only 109 pages but so much horror and awfulness. Definitely Required Reading. Read this for #booked2019 #NightOrientedTitle and #mmdchallenge #BookPublishedBeforeYouWereBorn and I am glad that I did.

ravenlee It‘s an amazing read, but definitely not an easy one. I read it in high school and had a visceral reaction, reading it alone late at night. 5y
MelissaSue81 @ravenlee - Agree.. a short book but not an easy one to get through at all. 5y
Cinfhen This is the one book that gets me EVERY TIME💔 It‘s so heartbreaking in its simplistic form. Elie Wiesel doesn‘t rely on adjectives or metaphors but rather the harsh reality of what he saw and endured and the shock that men were responsible for this horror. #NeverAgain 5y
BarbaraTheBibliophage Such an amazing, intense book. Great job! 5y

I'm a little bit embarrassed that for as long as I've been a fan of Agatha Christie, this is my first time reading Murder on the Orient Express! I've seen all the film versions so the solution wasn't a surprise, but it's one of the most ingenious endings ever.

CaroPi I read it quite late also. And I knew the ending. Nevertheless to listen the logic behind was better than in the movie 5y
ferskner @CaroPi It definitely is! I had mixed feelings about the new adaptation, for all its gorgeousness. 5y
