I love The Big Four! It's one of my favourite Agatha Christie books. It's just so silly and farfetched. I never thought to compare it to any of the Sherlock Holmes stories though. I'll have to re-read it with The Sign of Four/Three Garridebs/The Final Problem in mind.

I can't say I ever liked the big four. Mainly because I am not a big Sherlock Holmes fan. But also it is a bit incoherent. I mean it just seems as planned or tightly written as most of her work.

OMG! Another person that likes this! Or even knows what it is! Yea!!

Eh, it's been a while since I read Agatha Christie and I can't remember the names of any of the books of hers I read, but I think I stopped after three, because... yeah, they kind of were racist.

Or, well, there were some really uncomfortable anti-Semitic lines in them. ("Her long, Jew-y nose twitching"--regarding money, of course. And an obvious flaw that Poirot found in someone was that, being Jewish, she would naturally be greedy. It was awkward and uncomfortable. I'll stick to Sherlock, thanks.)

Because Sherlock is in no way racist, yeah, right. Blind Banker?

I won't argue your points, but on the other hand, the whole theme of Poirot is that he, as a foreigner, is often underestimated or regarded with contempt by the British, and then he proves them wrong. He's the quintessential outsider. Those books poke fun at xenophobia and nationalism.

Just for info, this is being televised this Wednesday on ITV. It's the final series of the David Suchet Poirots.
