Must read. - By: Mr. I. T. Logan, 11 Nov 2008 
This is an excellent book. Gripping from start to finish I have recommended it to many friends who have been amazed by it also. Whatever's been said & thought about Jeffrey Archer you can't take it away from him, he is a fantastic story teller. I've read the sequel "The prodigal daughter" which is good but not as gripping & slightly repetitive. I've also seen the film which was disappointing unsurprisingly.
A lierary genius - By: P.Rodgers, 20 Oct 2008 
I found this book hard to put down, it held me to it for hours every night. Archer is a literary genius. There's a lot of good twists & turns & the ending is exceptionally good. You won't be dissappointed with this one.
Kane and Abel by Archer - By: Mrs. R. Ware, 16 Oct 2008 
My first read for an Archer book. only read it because of the very good reviews it has. & will now read the rest of his books.
absolutely brilliant form page one to the last with NO middle dip!
Reasonably OK pot-boiler - By: J. Jacob, 22 Sep 2008 
I read Kane & Abel when I was a teenager shortly after I'd devoured the TV mini-series. I loved the TV programme & I loved the book back then.
I figured I'd have the same experience twenty-odd years later. For the most part I did enjoy it. But there are moments when the seemingly never-ending series of appalling coiincidences combined with some quite painful sex scenes describedin excruciating detail left me wanting to throw the book across the room.
Having imparted such vile observations, I still recommend it. It's perfect for a quick fix of "I've finished reading a book" & the inevitable feeling of smug self-satisfaction which results. Just don't expect too much from it.
Unputdownable read! - By: S. Scrivener, 11 Mar 2008 
I'm a huge fan of Jeffrey Archer & have read this bookin the past & love it. Bought it from Amazon recently & 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 & you get cross, everything you want from a first class read.
