 Much too short January 5, 2009
J. Winsoar (Nottingham, England)
I bought this for my Grandma's christmas present. Being registered blind she cannot read books and I thought this would make a nice change from the usual audio books provided by the RNIB. Unfortunately she said it was a waste of money because it was much too short with a running time of under an hour.

This adventure of the belgian detective is shorter than most of his cases and no murder to tax his little grey cells.
If you want a festive Poirot story this is just right most other stories are fairly longer and a little harder to slove before Poirot even thought we get more information than him.
If you like the TV series this will keep you entertained for a short time.

A collection of short stories, "The Adventure of the Christmas Pudding" is a hugely enjoyable read.Although perhaps not one of Agatha Christies absolute finest, the plots are as always ingenious, with many a final twist in keeping with the authors flair.Though maybe lacking in the complexity and the ability to keep the reader guessing right up until the end which is generally associated with Christies full novels, I would nevertheless reccomend these stories as an excellent bedtime read.

Agatha Christie has the unique ability to capture the readers interest within the first few paragraphs - an art which is so skilfully displayed here. Although, perhaps, not her magnum opus, The Adventures of the Christmas Pudding is a range of short stories which display her characteristic ability to align the elegant world of the rich with that of the impoverished or socially lacking. The crime in her short stories is always more easy to detect than in her longer novels, but even in these shorter versions, she dazzles us with enough red herrings to keep the reader frantically turning the pages. It must be said that although characters and situations are sometimes cliched, this is still a highly enjoyable read. Definately the kind of book to read on a cold winter's night with a large cup of hot chocolate beside you.
