A Prisoner of Birth

Product Information

Jeffrey Archer is at his best when he writes about individuals in seemingly impossible situations. He portrays a realistic world of courtrooms, prisons, high society and Swiss financial institutions; his experiences as a member of the British Parliament and the House of Lords, as well as his own two years in prison, layer his novels with realistic details. Archer is well known for his international bestselling novels and short story collections, including Kane and Abel, Sons of Fortune, and False Impression. He writes with skill and imagination, unafraid to raise controversial issues such as prison life, fraud, revenge, and the corruption of the legal profession. Above all, Archer knows how to keep reader on the edge of our seats, right up to a heart-stopping surprise in the very last word of A Prisoner of Birth . They are both oaks, even if they were planted in different forests. But then, m’lord, we all suffer in our different ways from being prisoners of birth.

For me, among all of those, A Prisoner of Birth is one of the best, maybe comparable to those works by Le Carre and Fleming. Archer is definitely better than Flynn, Ludlum and Grisham. Archer is said to be the British equivalent of the American Grisham. I do not agree with this. For me, Archer is better than Grisham. A few hours later Danny is arrested for murder and later is sentenced to twenty-two years in prison, thanks to irrefutable testimony from Spencer, the prosecution's main witness.When Danny finally got off his knee, he took her by surprise again. He immediately began to tap a number on his mobile. Beth knew only too well who would be on the other end of the line. No, I don't," said Beth a little too loudly, causing one of the men at the bar to turn around. "And in any case," she added smiling at her fiancé, "Danny's far better looking than Lawrence Davenport."

The best part about the book is the way Jeffrey Archer used the beauty of the English language to weave the story. He'd better have, 'cause gettin' spliced don't come cheap," said Bernie. "To start with, where you goin' to live?" The plot and characters were so well developed. It had so many twists and turns. It was a little predictable in that it's a modern day version of The Count of Monte Cristo, but it was done in such an interesting way I didn't mind. And it's even better than the original classic, if that's possible.Access-restricted-item true Addeddate 2021-07-16 19:01:53 Boxid IA40174003 Camera Sony Alpha-A6300 (Control) Collection_set printdisabled External-identifier Ocr tesseract 5.0.0-alpha-20201231-10-g1236 Ocr_detected_lang en Ocr_detected_lang_conf 1.0000 Ocr_detected_script Latin Ocr_detected_script_conf 0.9687 Ocr_module_version 0.0.13 Ocr_parameters -l eng Old_pallet IA-NS-2000321 Openlibrary_edition And if you think I'm gonna call you guv when you take over from my old man," said Bernie, breaking into his thoughts, "you can forget it."

However, Spencer Craig, Lawrence Davenport, Gerald Payne, and Toby Mortimer all underestimate Danny’s determination to seek revenge, and Beth’s relentless quest to pursue justice, which ends up with all four fighting for their lives, The cabbie glanced over her shoulder and down the alley. "I don't think it's a taxi they'll be needing, luv," he said. "If they were my friends, I'd be phoning for an ambulance."Beth flagged down the cabbie as the man Bernie had felled staggered past her and disappeared into the night.

As a friend very rightly put it… ’A Prisoner of Birth’ has all the makings of a Bollywood Masala Movie. This is the most well written book to which I've given a 1. It's also the first one star rating I've given to Jeffrey Archer. If you searched the words 'go to' in my dictionary, you'll find a picture of Archer. That's no longer true. More than the first half of the book had some merit, but it was only about build up, promise, and expectation. All three undercut, broken, and betrayed, respectively. If a restaurant makes you wait for so long that you're not faint of hunger but bored, impatient, and surly, do you feel satisfied in any way when a bunch of tripe is served to you? Of course(no pun intended) not; that is not sweetening the deal.To hell with that," said Bernie. "It's not every day that my little sister gets engaged to my best mate. Another bottle!" he shouted. I can't wait to start another one of Jeffrey Archer's masterpieces. I thought his modern version of Cain and Abel was good, but this takes it to another level. He is not recognized enough for how smart, modern, humorous, and witty his writing is. We've saved enough between us to put down a deposit," said Beth, "and when Danny takes over from Dad—" Not a chance," said Bernie raising his glass. "You've only got me this time. To long life and West Ham winning the cup."
