A very pleasant and fast reading - it may not be existentialist or full of "new weird" ideas and sometimes posh philosophy but it is incredibly eloquent. I have read almost all of Jeffrey Archer's books and will continue to do so because the stories feel true and believable. Plus he serves just the ...

The book left me with the feeling that I 've read the summary of a story (quite inetresting - with more reversals than the first book). Characters are not described at all, letting the reader shape them besed on the story and the historical background of the book (which was used for that purpose wit...
