LITTLE BOOK, BIG LAUGHS!
Collectors beware. If, like me, you already have all the Two Ronnies' joke books from the 1970s, plus Ronnie Barker's excellent anthology "All I Ever Wrote", then you really don't need this "best of" collection.

Still, it's a nice variety of material from their long running BBC TV series: their "news" jokes, sketches, and monologues, but, regrettably, NOT their musical parodies, perhaps for space reasons. Also, there's an unfortunate tendency to just pull random lines out of Ronnie Corbett's shaggy dog stories, spoiling the effect somewhat.

HOWEVER...If you judge it on its OWN merits...as a convenient, pocket-sized sampler and affectionate souvenir of the duo's comedy it's very good, and DEFINITELY very funny. A final GOOD night from "Me" (Ronnie Corbett) and "Him" (Ronnie Barker).Bless 'em. ... Read more

Good Show!
We were happy to receive this book earlier than expected. Also, it was in excellent condition. We're happy campers. We'll be back.

One of her best
This book is in the top tier of my favorite Christie's.It is a simple story told straight forwardly but has undertones of evil.The hero and his sister are front and center, but all the characters are vivid in your mind's eye.There is a love interest back story, but most of her works have a little something in the romantic vein-just a touch, but enough.The whodunnit is interesting and you will probably guess wrong because you are reading something from the Mistress of Mystery.

As always, interesting villagers and many quirky characters.Miss Marple is not present much but is there when needed.

This was the THIRD time reading THE MOVING FINGER and, as always, it was fun.

The Moving Finger is a 1943 Agatha Christie murder mystery that is a delightful way to while away a few hours
Agatha Christie wrote "The Moving Finger" in 1943. The short 200 page novel is told in the first person by Jerry Burton. Burton is a Royal Air Force pilot who has been wounded in combat. He repairs to the quaint village of Lymstock with his sexy sister Joanna down from London. The tranquil bucolic milieu is torn asunder by the supposed suicide of a prominent lawyer's wife and later a gruesome murder. Whodunit?
Several of the town's prominent citizens have been receiving anonymous letters accusing them of scandal. Jerry sets out to discover the secrets of Lymstock. He also falls in love as does his sister with denizens of the tight knit community. When murder rears its ugly head the Burtons have the expert advice of the famous Miss Jane Marple.
The Moving Finger was one of Dame Agatha's favorite novels and it is also one of mine. This little book is a great introduction to the world of Agatha Christie. Enjoy!

Solid Christie
Poison pen letters spread throughout an English village, upsetting recipients, and leading to a suicide. The village is full of quirky characters, any one of whom might be responsible for the anonymous missives. Ultimately the mystery will be solved by one of the villagers' acquaintances, none other than Miss Jane Marple.

This was my first Miss Marple mystery, and I was surprised at how small a presence Miss Marple actually was in the story. She didn't appear until more than halfway through the book, and then remained in the background, sort of like the furniture. Yes, she does ultimately solve the mystery, but she's hardly a character of much consequence. It appears that The Moving Finger is one of the earlier Miss Marple mysteries, and perhaps the character was not yet well-developed. As this was my first Miss Marple I don't really have another novel for comparison.

The story is told by an injured pilot, who has moved to the countryside to recover. As he meets the various villagers, especially the women, there's an added element of romance, but as with all of Christie's work, the mystery remains the heart of the book. This is not one of Christie's more remarkable works, but it is certainly solid, and kept me riveted to the end.

Seriously lacking in Miss Marple

Mystery; Miss Marple

Summary: Jerry Burton and his sister Joanna have moved to a small, quiet, and peaceful town in England to ease his convalescence. What they get though is a small town rife with secrets. A mysterious writer is sending nasty anonymous letters to people which culminates in a local lady committing suicide. The next week, a maid is killed. Are they connected? Did that maid know something about the killer? Christie weaves another fine tale.

Thoughts: Despite this being a Miss Marple, she doesn't appear until more than half way through the book, meaning we hardly get to spend any time with her. She is called in as an expert on humans by the vicar's wife. She figures it out and sets up a trap to nab the murderer.

It was interesting to me how the narrator Jerry Burton drops explicit hints to the reader, saying that certain things turn out to be important and how he could have solved the mystery earlier had he paid more attention. I did take notice and I still didn't figure it out; I read Miss Marple's explanation and it still didn't help me very much. But I liked this and I enjoyed the little romance. I know Christie is a mystery writer and she frequently writes the most awful things about women as if they were facts that apply to all women but she writes cute romances. She couldn't sustain an entire book with them but as a garnishing to the mystery, they work well.

Overall: 4/5. Could have been higher if there had been more Miss Marple ... Read more

Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Michael John Douglas (born September 5, 1951), better known as Michael Keaton, is an American actor, well known for his early comedic roles in films such as Night Shift, Mr. Mom, Johnny Dangerously, Beetlejuice, and for his dramatic portrayal of Batman in Tim Burton's Batman and Batman Returns, as well as lead roles in other films including The Paper, Jackie Brown, Jack Frost, and White Noise. Keaton, the youngest of seven children, was born in Coraopolis, Pennsylvania, and lived in Robinson Township, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. His father worked as a civil engineer and surveyor and his mother, Leona, a homemaker, came from a Scots-Irish community in Pennsylvania. Keaton was raised in a large Catholic family and attended Montour High School in Pennsylvania. He studied speech for two years at Kent State before dropping out and moving to Pittsburgh. Keaton was married to actress Caroline McWilliams from 1982 until 1990. They have one son, Sean Maxwell (born May 27, 1983). He also had a six-year relationship with actress Courteney Cox from 1989 to 1995. Keaton often returns to his hometown to attend sporting events to cheer on his favorite sports teams the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Pittsburgh Pirates, and the Pittsburgh Penguins. An unsuccessful attempt at stand-up comedy led Keaton to working as a TV cameraman at public television station WQED (TV) in Pittsburgh. Keaton first appeared on TV in the Pittsburgh-based public television program Mister Rogers' Neighborhood (1975), as one of the "Flying Zucchini Brothers." He also served as a full-time production assistant on the show. ...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=235323 ... Read more
