fantastic stuff - buy all three diaries
|
Just like the other 2 diaries, this is a great book and gives a great insight into the prison system and the people that inhabit it.
Archer's writing is clear and easy to read, giving a clear picture of characters and situations 'inside'.
This is a classic.

A charmed life?
|
As compelling a read as Volume I. He is now in Category C Wayl
and prison, which, though still full of any number of restraints, is far more relaxed than Belmarsh. But to this reader it seems clear that the charmed (if uncomfortable) life Archer led in prison might have been less charmed had he not b
een so famous. On the other hand, his own basic charm and good nature (as theyappear in these diaries) probably also helped with both inmates and warders.(See also my reviews of Vols.I and III)

Purgatory
|
|
The second installment in Archers prison diary is as gripping as the first. his use of language and descriptive prose, as well as the excellent sketches produced by another of the inmates give you a sense of being in the cell with Archer during the bleak days he spends in Waylands. The script is written to favour neither guards nor inmates, simply as is. Most surprising is the respect he gets from the majority of the inmates in the prison, and how ready his friends are to "deal" with those that threaten him, if only he would point them out. Once again, a very candid bio, pulling no punches, I look forward to reading the third.
