Unputdownable read!

I'm a huge fan of Jeffrey Archer and have read this book in the past and love it. Bought it from Amazon recently and could not put it down. You just have to keep reading it to find out what happens next. It covers all the emotions, you laugh, you smile, you cry and you get cross, everything you want from a first class read.

Part of me hates to admit it but this is a fantastic story, read it many years ago and still remember it. When others describe something as a 'cracking read' I think this is what they mean. Good for someone who doesn't read a lot even though it's lengthy, the story is so well told and always interesting.

A modern classic

Considering that I am not normally a fan of Jeffrey Archer novels, I was amazed and delighted to find that Kane and Abel was one of the greatest books I have ever had the pleasure of reading. This story gripped me from beggining to end.
The novel spans a lifetime, following the main character's from childhood to old age. Two men from very different backgrounds and cultures, both powered by ambition, cunning and intellect, each rises to fame and fortune. They come together to save and destroy each other in an epic tale of passion, hatred and respect.
Overall I found this to be a book that I could not put down from the moment I read the first line. It is a story that I enjoyed so much I have re-read it on more than one occasion and i'm sure I will again! It is highly recommended.

fantastic story

I read this book years ago and couldn't put it down. I still remember the story. I would have always said it was one of my all time favourites even although I know that Archer isn't rated as a writer. I have to say though that I tried to read it recently and didn't like it nearly as well because it is all a bit far-fetched and unbelievable. Probably a great choice for a young or reluctant reader.

Totally engrossing

I started reading this book yesterday, having read it many years ago.
It's hard to put the book down because the storyline is so good.
A must-read for any person, including novice readers
