To me the biggest strengths of Jefferey Archer is his narration. Although the story is about multiple characters and weaves back and forth in time, it was easy to follow. To me this is not a book in the same class as something like "The Road" or "Oryx and Crake", but those books are completely different subject or domain. Nor is it as good as Archer's own "Not a penny more, not a penny less".

As Archer begins this book series he turns from his usual formula to a different plot. Set in interbellum (I coined the word)England, the story is engaging, the reading quick, and the enjoyment level high.
Nonetheless it did not rate five stars from me because it seemed to be more fraught with lapses in character behavior or subject to plot twists that were not as believable as I am used to from Jeffrey Archer, one of my favorite authors. Just not (in my opinion) one of his best books.

As I began this book, I didn't think that I would like it. It was so different from what I usually read. However I am very glad that I went ahead and read this! I loved this book so much. It is so dear to my heart.
I liked this book so much, I found the next in line at the library and read that and now am looking for the 3rd!!!
Each book ends with you ready for the next chapter in the life of Harry!!

I received this book free from First Reads. This is the first book I have read by Jeffrey Archer and I just loved it. Thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish. It was full of history. I am now reading Sins of the Father (Book 2) and plan on finishing the series.
Jeffrey Archer's mastery in plots twists and engaging storytelling continues at its prime. Always a joy getting taken for an exciting ride.

Lots of detail, interesting characters, plot turns and twists, as well as an historical setting make this a great read! Can't wait to start the next one!
