I'm a sucker for jeffrey archer, and hell's yeah, I have read most of his works, but the most prominent of all have to be this book.. Just 1 question, are there any other authors like Jeffrey Archer? One who writes stories weaving family sagas and deception? Do provide me recommendations if you know any!

I will re-read Pillars of the Earth again and can't wait to start World Without End which is some kind of sequel to it
Yes I agree about Sydney Sheldon though he can be a bit shallow but he is still worth reading for family generational sagas. You dont want to miss Master of the Game as the other reader recommended. You will get immersed in it which is certainly what you want in a good work of fiction.
Wilbur Smith also writes notable grand family adventures and sagas although his racial views have been questioned in some of his books but I thoroughly enjoyed When the Lion Roars(or something like that)
Peyton Place is also a good American book.(less)

What was the deal with Susan Lester????? I didn't understand why she was so angry with William Kane. I understand that they had a brief romance, and he lost interest, but her anger was way way way out of proportion to anything that happened. And was she going to risk her inheritance by not voting for him to become Chairman?

Muthu Palaniappan May be susan was angry that kane rejected her and choose kate over her,while she was expecting him to marry her at the same time.

i liked it..well..too lengthy i must say!!..i felt dragged in between... esp when both Kane and Abel end up in the war (where Kane gets severely wounded) Even the Baron had just one nipple like Abel..i did not get any significance of that??? why is it written on top of the book cover "an ultimate novel of sibling rivalry"????arrgghh..!!!!!!

Hi! Who you think is the most likeable character, in terms of identity and construction of their lives, William Kane or Abel Rosnovski? Personally I think both came from upside down world, William from the stablished well known family. Meanwhile Abel is the underdog, who seems to have suffered more, but in the end were the choices they made that transformed ultimatedly their personalities.
