One choked his little self and then there were nine
Nine little soldier boys set up very late
One overslept himself and then there were eight
Eight little soldier boys travelling in Devon
One side he'd stay there and then there were seven
Seven little soldier boys chopping up sticks
One chopped himself in halves and then there were six…’

About the Book
This book consists of ten main characters which are sharp and fascinatingly displayed by Agatha Christie .This book was very critical for her to write and this was published on 6 November 1939 by the publisher Collins crime's club United Kingdom.
Sometimes the background and breakable lines of this book were puzzling which may create desperation to read it or if you are impatient you definitely leave this in the middle.
This most common in each book of Christie whenever you read it you feel like a part of that drama,mystery or whatever it is. It consists of an unbreakable flow which you definitely don't want to break .
Self Analysis
I read this book a couple of times and each time I got a new observation which I missed earlier.Most of Agatha's book's reflect morality, humanity unconsciously and consequence when people remove these qualities from them .She displays emotional disbalance .
I feel like kind inhumanity exists among us or when you are in trouble you feel guilty why we or I did this without realizing its consequences on himself or others.
My rating for this book(Then There Were None)- 4.5 on 5
