I had some trouble getting through this book because it was more the revealing of facts than it really was a story. Up until the very end I was pretty uninterested as to who had killed Mr. Ackroyd. And I do not want to be one of those people who are very proud that they guessed the correct murderer. Except I am, regrettably, and I did.

The identity of the murderer is really the only thing that made the novel interesting, which is unfortunate since it is at the very end. So the whole thing was quite boring until the last couple of pages. I am glad I have read it but it wasn't what I had hoped it would be.
