I do like Jeffrey Archer's books, but I prefer paper versions. I'll go back to reading these myself, although Alex did a fabulous job with all the characters voices.

I've said it once in an earlier review, but again, once you start.... you can't stop. This series, and on its own this book, are both incredible. If you haven't started yet, I recommend you do so right now. I've listened to one after the other, non stop for the past week.
