Hello readers of r/bangtan! July is just flying by! Between Run Seokjin Tour, Hobipalooza Pt. 2, PTD Live Album, Fashion Week, RPWP Vinyl and the members going live every two seconds in LA our schedules are jam packed and our bank accounts empty!
Our book discussion is quickly approaching but don’t worry, you still have plenty of time to read this classic! If you’d like to join and want to be tagged when the post drops, let us know!
📖 📣Discussion on ‘And Then There Were None’ starts on July 22nd
When they go low, we go high…quality on our book discussion
Below is a discussion guide. Some book-specific questions and some sharing suggestions!
- One of the main themes present in And Then There Were None is guilt and the effect it has on a person. How did each character deal with the guilt of their past? Who handled it the best?
- Which character’s behavior do you identify with most and why?
- It has been said that Agatha Christie “violated the standard rules of mystery writing” by making it almost impossible for the reader to solve the mystery before it is explained. How did you feel as a reader? Did you guess the ending?
- What is the point of the poem “Ten Little Soldiers” and that after each death one of the figurines on the dining table goes missing? How does the poem and figurines play a role in the story?
- Does the time period matter in the story? How would it have changed if it were set in 2025?
- Who is the bigger criminal in this story? The criminal victims or the person who has decided it was their responsibility to seek justice?
- Have you read any other Christie novels? Which ones and how do they compare to And Then There Were None?

And one by one, they die…

I plan to start reading this as soon as I’m finished with the book I’m currently reading (reading ~500 pages in a week? I *think* I can join in relatively timely haha)!
I always appreciate seeing the discussion questions before I start so I can make notes related to them whilst reading. 🙂
