Poirot and Me

De: David Suchet

Narrado por: David Suchet

Actor David Suchet recalls his experience of playing Agatha Christie's world-famous detective, Hercule Poirot, for almost a quarter of a century.

In the summer of 2013 David Suchet filmed his final scenes as Hercule Poirot. After 24 years in the role, he will have played the character in every story that Agatha Christie wrote about him (bar one, deemed unfilmable) and he will bid adieu to a role and a character that have changed his life.

In Poirot and Me, David Suchet tells the story of how he secured the part, with the blessing of Agatha Christie's daughter, and set himself the task of presenting the most authentic Poirot that had ever been filmed. David Suchet is uniquely placed to write the ultimate companion to one of the world's longest running television series.

Peppered with anecdotes about filming, including many tales of the guest stars who have appeared over the years, the book is essential for Poirot fans all over the world.

An Excellent Experience

I enjoyed learning so many wonderful things about one of my favorite characters from when I was a boy and the man who brought him to life for us. As an actor, I loved to hear all of the stories along the way of projects David worked on and how fiercely he defended the honor of 'our little Belgian' when it was required. I thoroughly enjoyed David's way of narrating and intend on buying more of the books he reads.

Inside the mind of my favorite detective.

Suchet has one of the most attractive voices I’ve heard. This combined with his knowledge of line delivery creates a mesmerizing listen.
I’m a big fan of the Poirot series and love hearing the behind the scenes details. Suchet’s love of and commitment to the Little Belgian detective is inspiring.

awesome Poirot!!!

Loved this production of Poirot with David Suchet. Lovely! The best !!!!

Agatha Christie’s great creation.

so we'll read

I did enjoy listening to this. I wish that he had told more funny antidotes or a little bit more say gossip then he did. there have to have been some funny stories when filming the Poirot episodes. but he is a brilliant speaker and so that part was very enjoyable. he actually sounds like a very nice man and certainly a consummate professional. I would recommend this book.

Great

Definitely recommended for anyone who enjoyed the Poirot series. This is a must listen to.

Brilliant Use of my little gray cells

I’ve always adored Hercule Poirot. AND adored him as played by David Suchet. I admit, I do like the Peter Ustinov version, to a point. But nobody does him like Suchet! I sort of wish I had discovered his version sooner, but there must have been a reason I didn’t get REALLY serious about him until now. I was delighted to find this book not too long ago and I fell in love all over again. It was wonderful to hear David Suchet tell his journey as Poirot. I admit I even had a few tears fall in the last 5 minutes of the read. Now…I’m off to continue the series. I’m at Series 4, Episode 2…Death in the Clouds. 🥰

A lovely recount of such a wonderful character and David

I really enjoyed it, I was very sad and emotional when it ended, David has a great capacity to transmit ideas and emotions. Spectacular narration and voice.

Wonderful

Loved the depth and commitment to the character he portrayed. Being as honest and disciplined to what she wrote is beautiful.

I enjoyed this memoir!

David Suchet is the only Poirot worth watching. I have see recent films and been disappointed. if you love Agatha Christie's wonderful character, this will let you in on how he came to be so well portrayed on the small screen.

Wonderful!

Excellent. A wonderful journey! I wish there were more Poirot adventures. David Suchet is a great and delightful actor!
