Poirot and Me

Man, if you're a fan of the show Poirot at all, you'll love this. I teared up multiple times, starting with the prologue. David Suchet gave such amazing background and insights into the show and production. I loved finding out why the show aired the way it did (and how precarious it was sometimes), why certain decisions were made, why the Granada episodes felt different than the ITV episodes. I loved how much Suchet loved Poirot as soon as he accepted the job, despite not having been familiar beforehand. This was such a fun read and now I want to go and rewatch all the episodes.

Oh was this tedious! The same ideas in every chapter:
- I must remain faithful to Poirot and his creator
- I'm so lucky to be a character actor
- I must support my family
- the critics were so kind to me
- everyone loves Poirot
- I am Poirot
