I had to read Ten Little Indians when I was a kid. I did not like it at all. I was much more into Anne McCaffrey

Probably, only read the last two as a kid, really not a high bar, Agatha was as formulaic as you could get and her prose is downright bad, Rowling at least tries to write well, made up her own middle class magical bureaucratic world and branches out in other genres.
>Who is more respected by serious literature people?
There's no serious literature people left, who cares?
>Do zoomers read Agatha Christie?
I think she's kept in print by millennial booktubers.

Yes, in that they're both the talentless hacks which pander to retards that don't actually read. This is why you see so many people exclusively reading these two, or those who are stuck in the ghetto of similar shit authors (Donna Tart, John Green etc)

Fuck 'em

Yes, but only because she's referenced in Umineko

This.
The only good thing about Agatha Christie is that her name sounds very similar to Ágota Kristóf.
