Rating: Summary: An Honourable Read Review: AMOH is very similar to Ludlum. Filled with espionage and action. Enjoyable for an adult but I kept thinking if I was in my teens I would have thought this the best book ever. I think this is because the characters are young (and innocent).

Rating: Summary: One of Archer?s Best Novels Review: As usual with Archer's books, I could not put this one down. His thrillers are always terrribly exciting, but I especially enjoyed this one. It is a novel about an ordinary person, who through certain circumstances, becomes drawn into international espionage through following up on a letter received as part of his father's will. I read the entire thing in one day and evening, starting in the morning, and finishing at midnight. And you won't be able to put it down either ! !

Rating: Summary: Good book Review: First I do think that author is very talented and I have really enjoyed of that I have read by him. This book, I enjoyed as well, though, I don't feel I can give the book a 5 as I of do judge of the authors books. I have to give this book a 3, nearly a 4. Why? Well, and I think I could be wrong, but I felt the main character was able to befriend people way to easily. In fact, way too convenient. The girl helping him, the family helping him, and a person who works for the Foreign Office using phones that may or may not secure. Okay, so this is my thought. People became this mans friend too easy. They trusted him. I thought this was off. I didn't think it was feasible. Though I must admit, he was in the a different county, where that may be more feasible. I live in the US and that just may not work. So I could be wrong. However, I also think about James Bond and in those flicks, he was able to get help of others. Things just happened for him. My other point, when our main character spoke on the phone with his best friend who was living the double live. He just demanded to have a question answered. There was no rationale for it. Other than that, I thought the book was good. In some ways it makes me think of Honor Among Thieves, though that book was written many years latter. Well, that is a enough, I don't want to bad mouth the guy. But I do think if you are like me, pretentious about things you will find a book has some big feasibility holes.
Rating: Summary: A good read Review: I am not really a fan of books but when I started reading this book (my first Archer book), I could not put it down. The action is relentless, plot deep and more importantly, the writing is brilliant. Adam Scott is a character that is a hero by chance and you will find yourself rooting for him even when he finds himself in a spot. All in all, a great book. I hope a movie is in the works.
Rating: Summary: One of the Greatest Review: I have read extensively out of Jeffrey Archers repetoire and have found all of the books not only palatiable, but also intriguing reads. I read this book 5 years ago, and make it a point to read it at least once a year if not more. This book was one of the best fiction books ever written as far as I am concerned. It is so easy for the fiction author to fall into a trap and write the same old news, sometimes in a tired, but different way. These books are not interesting. Any author who can offer a breath of fresh air to the genre recieves my hats off, and this is due to jeffrey Archer. This book isn't typical at all, the plot twists are entirely tough to predict,and even though the ending should have been a forgone conclustion (the hero winning) it was done in such a way that I was still very much interested. The basis of the story is a guy named Adam who is led through many adventures because of an archaic note he got from his fathers will. This letter to his father was written in german, and in trying to get it translated the adventure begins. His journey and escapes follow across most of Europe, and the action never stops. Somewhat like a James Bond flick, but 100 times better, and in book form is what I would compare this exciting read to. Read this book, and when you are done, read all the rest of Archers books, you will enjoy each and every one of them.
Rating: Summary: Mind Gripping! Review: I just couldn't get my eyes off the book from the first page onwards. jeffery archer is truly a master at plots and twists.
Rating: Summary: Good Movie Book Review: I just finished reading A Matter of Honour, and I was sad to find that there was no movie ever made for it. In my opinion this would be a very good book to make a good film out of.
