Jeffrey Archer

[chersy]

I finally got to read the Kane and Abel trilogy (I digress: it was difficult to find "Shall We Tell the President?" I don't think many bookstores carry that anymore. Also "Kane and Abel", actually. Found those two in Fully Booked). I loved "The Prodigal Daughter" very much, mainly because Archer hardly has a female lead for his stories and Florentyna is such an amazing character. I'm such a sap for the story--I must've cried over so many parts!

Kane & Abel is my favorite....phew....hands down....

Jeffrey Archer is a MASTER storyteller.

^^ i love "old love"... naiyak ako ng nabasa ko... one of my fave love stories...

it's a short story, right? is it part of "A Quiver full of arrows"?

[budsbunny]

syempre Kane and Abel... it's the book that define archer as the modern alexander dumas.

after the Kane and Abel trilogy, next would be honor among thieves and as the crow flies.

[maysapaw]

i like kane and abel too...parang boy version ng master of the game by sidney sheldon

but what i like most with archer's books are honor among thieves and eleventh commandment...well i guess i'm more of a fast paced story reader

and of course...yung mga short stories nya rin...a quiver full of arrows, red herrings and to cut the long story short...

[incognito24]

i'm also a jeffrey/geoffrey archer fan...my favorite is kane and abel...loved the miniseries, loved the book...as one pexer put it, you read it first at pag di ka nain-love, you go for a second, preferably, honor among theives or a quiver full of arrows...also got intrigued with first among equals...have three MPs vying to become the next PM in their lifetime...read another version of this book, instead of simon being chosen it was the right honourable raymond gould...had me really confused...why release another version...what i have is the simon thing...

[chersy]

Yay, Archer has a new book out: "False Impression"! So far, all I've seen are hardbound books in Powerbooks. Darn, Archer takes quite sometime before it's in paperback (read: much more affordable). Anyway, this new book looks interesting. Can't wait to read it!

I sincerely hope it's better that "Sons of Fortune" -- somehow, I didn't like it so much. Oh, and based on the book jacket, he's writing another collection of short stories, "The Cat with Nine Tails/Tales" (sp?). Not so sure of the title of that, though. Still, looking forward to it as well!

i am currently reading FALSE IMPRESSION.....

another superb book....

told our HR Training Manager that he is a good author.....told her to read KANE AND ABEL so she can assess if she really would like to read his works...

[cybernaut]

im reading right now yung FIRST AMONG EQUALS. fast-paced siya pero medyo difficult maintindihan kapag hindi ka familiar sa british parliamentary system. there are political terms which i i have never heard!

PATHS OF GLORY - JEFFREY ARCHER

Some people have dreams that are so magnificent that if they were to achieve them, their place in history would be guaranteed. People like Christopher Columbus, Isaac Newton, Florence Nightingale, Thomas Edison, Nancy Astor, Charles Lindbergh, Amy Johnson, Edmund Hilary and Neil Armstrong—their unparalleled success has made their stories into legend.

But what if one man had such a dream, and once he’d achieved it, there was no proof that he had fulfilled his ambition?

Jeffrey Archer’s new novel, Paths of Glory, is the story of such a man—George Mallory. Born in 1886, he was a brilliant student who became part of the Bloomsbury Group at Cambridge in the early twentieth century and served in the Royal Garrison Artillery during World War I. After the war, he married, had three children, and would have spent the rest of his life as a schoolteacher, but for his love of mountain climbing.

Mallory once told a reporter that he wanted to climb Mt. Everest, “because it is there.” On his third try in 1924, at age thirty-seven, he was last seen four hundred feet from the top. His body was found in 1999, and it remains a mystery whether he and his climbing partner, Andrew Irvine, ever reached the summit.
In fact, not until you’ve turned the last page of Archer’s extraordinary novel will you be able to decide if George Mallory should be added to that list of legends, while another name would have to be removed. Paths of Glory is truly a triumph.

Archer's Prisoner of Birth is pretty good too.

Looking forward to checking out Paths of Glory and The Gospel of Judas by Benjamin Iscariot as well.

[orangepink]
