Murder On Orient Express book vs movie

Post by Wasp Vigilante »

DO NOT SAY ANY SPOILERS. JUST ANSWER WITH A YES OR NO.

I am interested in reading Agatha Christie's Murder One The Orient Express. But Ive seen the movie already, Im scared that I already got spoiled. Is the ending the same with the movie or not?

The same end more or less, but I think the book is better.

My opinion is that I think I'm fine with both. It's hard for me to decide what's best with things like this sometimes, both I have to choose the book.

I liked both ! This was one of the few movies which I enjoyed more than the book, fast paced and fun!

I enjoyed the book far more than the movie, probably because this was one book I'd read before the movie.

I absolutely enjoyed the movie and would love to read the book. I wish I had read it first.

My opinion is that I think I'm fine with both stories. It's hard for me to decide what's best with things like this sometimes, and I guess I just don't mind, as long as it's good.
