This time around, the Adaptation girls discuss Agatha Christie’s novel And Then There Were None in which ten people are lured to an island and then killed off one by one. There’s also a creepy nursery rhyme with a racist history and some rather disturbing character backstories. The hosts talk about theories they had while reading, alternate endings that could have been and the unexpected and infuriating ending.
EDIT: You can now listen to our episode on the film Sabotage, which was loosely based on this book.
What did you think of this Christie mystery? Tell us in the comments!
The team’s discussion of Divergent by Veronica Roth stays focused on the details of this futuristic Chicago and how each of the factions function within it. Then, in their character discussion, one host reveals her disappointment in how a certain arc ended. They also have a little crossover fun in trying to match the factions to the Hogwarts houses.
In this overdue episode, the Adaptation Team tackles the BBC’s third series of Sherlock, discussing the perfection that is Mary Morstan, the nods to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s original works and to the fandom and the mildly-disappointing lack of a cliff hanger, all while reeling from the fact that WE STILL DON’T KNOW HOW HE SURVIVED!
Our hosts are a bit overwhelmed this episode as we discuss GP Taylor’s The Midas Box and the film adaptation The Adventurer: The Curse of the Midas Box. While enjoying the magical realism of the book, there was a lot to take in, and while the movie had them laughing (probably unintentionally), it was a little watery.
FINALLY, all the hosts were able to see Brian Percival’s The Book Thief! They discuss the bits that were perfect, the bits that were upsetting and the bits that other people just didn’t seem to understand in this beautiful and sad story.
