Being tucked into bed with your teddy bear on a blustery evening and being told your favorite bedtime story for the 97th time, setting the reset button in your mind so you can hear it again for the first time; it's that sort of feeling. Despite already knowing the ending, having seen the many film iterations, I still enjoyed the ride. Some will cry about its lack of action or character development, but I couldn't help playing all the character parts in my mind as I read it because the story is, as Poirot says, theatrical, and that's just pure fun!
