Minimo Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I have just finished Prisoner of Birth by Jeffrey Archer. I don`t care what anyone else says I like his books. I have enjoyed every novel , but am not interested in the prison diaries. I don`t care to know about his life inside, he was a total prat. But there are many people who have done criminal or stupid things but people still buy their books, records, or go to see their films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantomas Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 [re Use of Weapons - Iain M Banks] Its my favourite book of all time - I predict you'll want to re-read it as soon as you've finished How very true! Thought the ending was amazing and devastating, loved the way it skewed everything that had gone before without being cheesy. Definitely one to go back to in a couple of years.

But there are many people who have done criminal or stupid things but people still buy their books, records, or go to see their films. I recently read that the late, great and very clever Alan Coren said that Jeffrey Archer was very bad at writing sentences but very good at writing novels. Since when I've felt much happier about enjoying Archer's novels too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taxman Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Just finished The End of Mr Y and thoroughly enjoyed it. A good mix of science and mystery with some kinky sex thrown in as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
