Ancilla Domini Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Each episode is an hour and a half long. Considering I watched 2 of them on a day when I threw up over 70 times and I was still skilled enough to pay attention to what was going on, it is quite impressive indeed. Not impressed. I read the entire 1,500 pages of Sherlock Holmes stories and books in 3 days on a car trip - I get really awful car-sickness/motion sickness and was still able to read all 1,500 pages in 3 days. Definitely think that's more impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristianGirlForever Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Not all of Agatha Christie's books are traditional whodunnits with detectives. :) For example, one of my very favorite Christie novels is And Then There Were None, which is about a group of people who are invited to a remote estate, where, one by one, they start dying in suspicious ways. They have to figure out who is committing the murders before it's too late. I was glued to this book; it was a real page-turner! Another of my favorite Christie novels is The Man in the Brown Suit, which is an adventure/thriller with some romance. Of course, if you want to try classic Agatha Christie, then you have to read Murder on the Orient Express, which is more the traditional detective story. Also, Sherlock Holmes is amesome. :like2: I liked Destination Unknown by Christie. It's a spy novel written in the Cold War Era. Even my history buff Dad enjoyed it. You have good taste, HopefulHeart! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't hard, but it's harder than watching movies. I find reading in the car extremely hard, especially since I get sick and have two extremely boisterous brothers who sing and wrestle continuously on car trips. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XD Is it more impressive to have watched the entire Sherlock series or to have read every one of the books and short-stories? :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
