13th literary letter
Grade D
Title: Hickory Dickory Death
I just the book I was reading from almost a month now. It is written by Agatha Chiristie a famous writer. Unfortunately I didn’t like the book. It a small novel but it took so long for me to read it. I was suggested this by another friend, and I choose this so that I could finish it in shorter period of time. I think it’s an old novel, written in a way that people of this age won’t fancy it. The name of the book sounds interesting as it rhymes with a nursery rhyme Hickory Dickory Dock. I think this name was given to this novel because it’s a novel for Middle School students, the word “Death” is there because a women dies in this novel, moreover it rhymes with the word Dock.
This book is a detective fiction. The novel is full of mysteries, there are murders done and then the deduction of the murderer’s identity and his murdering past is portrayed. The main character has to find the murderer but it is full of complications. I found this novel similar to the novel I read in the beginning of the year named Obsessed.
I will not suggest this novel to anyone from my class because it is not a mature or interesting novel. There were times, when I had to read the chapters again to understand and follow up with the story being portrayed.
Thank you
