I am not familiar with Jeffery Archer. I bought the first book by an book store keeper suggestion.I loved the first book but there where some bad review about the book. The first book “Only Time Will Tell” is not up-to the expectation for many people. But the author make the second book of his Clifton Chronicle as the remarkable book that over come all the back logs from his first book.

The book start from the twist and turns from the first book. i am so glad the author haven’t turned the twist I am not familiar with Jeffery Archer.

The book start from the twist and turns from the first book. i am so glad the author haven’t turned the twist into some other things he kept the twist and the expectation of the reader from the first page.

There where different types of fiction story that wrote on various things. but when it comes to family and close relationship. The fiction reach the thersold point. And it’s quite easy for the author not to press his though so deep. It’s between son and father it’s easy to understand the words and situation with less words.

And i like the author way of writing he make all the characters remarkable and no more dumb characters.As we read along the character names we live with those characters. My favorite where harry,Emma. It’s the obvious character but i love the most. Because the like the way the love relationship between them. It’s real and the things emma did was so realistic. And it’s quite acceptable.

When i comes to harry he is not played much chapters in this book. In my point of view but he is the person in all our mind up-to the last page.I like the way the author took the suspense from start to the end [and beyond]

As i read the story there is somethings that came in to my mind like Harry’s prison remind me shawshame Redemption. The war remind me Hurt Locker.It’s nice to feel in that way.

I hate the series book’s .Because they wont keep the drift from start to the end but in Clifton chronicle. It’s exceptional. Had good time! Try this u want to read something new from the crowd.Thanks Archer! One thing i understand when choosing a book. When we search for the best book we end it with something that is not our kind. So choose it as a blind folded. Read it and live with it! One thing i am so worried about my best books r hard covered. One day it’s all gonna die by the time. Is there any way to Save book’s? I dono if anyone has any tip Please share with me. ...more

A very quick read. Ended with another cliff-hanger. You will want to have book 3 ready to start as soon as this one is done. I hadn't realized that Book 4 just came out in March, 2014. I've already reserved my copy from the library. Unlike the last Ken Follett series, I am glad I didn't have to wait almost a year before the next installment came out. It keeps the story fresh in mind.

Like another reviewer said, part of book 2 was a rehash of what happened in book 1, but I didn't think it spent a ...more

Another enticing book by Jeffrey Archer. Quick read and interesting plots, though don't think they are as detailed as Only Time Will Tell. We continue with Harry, Emma, Giles, Maisie and Hugo. Hugo doesn't disappoint and continues to be the low down villain as in the previous books. It's just amazing how low he will go though, not only to those he thinks he is better than, but to everyone who stands in the way of what he wants. Maisie is free thinking and continues to learn and grow. Emma is out ...more

I think this was just one Jeffrey Archer too many. It felt too similar to some of his other books like Sons of Fortune or Prisoner of Birth, but I enjoyed those more because I those stories had more meat.

Nonetheless, it was entertaining with interesting coincidences and predicaments. The end felt a little too drawn out though.

Note: Did not realize that it was part of a series until I'd read it, and I can't say I'm very eager to read its predecessor or sequels. ...more

Not as good as Only Time Will Tell, but once again a pretty good, quick read. This book continues on with the story of Harry Clifton and once again ends in a dramatic cliff hanger, this is starting to bug me, but ever the sucker, I have already started the third book. I'm glad I started this series late, or I really would have been irritated to have to wait for the next book... ...more

Like the first book in the series I couldn't put it down. Giles' character is annoyingly inconsistent but that didn't hamper my enjoyment. On to the next book! ...more

Interesting to see how the boys, Giles and Harry came through the war. Emma continues to be a great character.

This is the second book in the Clifton Chronicles series, and I enjoyed it as much as the first book. It was a well written, easy to read book, and I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series.
