Holiday savior

I have read many of Archers books. And I must say I am a devoted reader, even though some of his pieces had already disappointed me. But this one is a hit. It starts quite slowly, by the first third of the book, you wonder whether it is going to be tricky and thrilling at all. But through the rest of the book you just fly through without a break. There are some really good points (f.e. the execution part, for those who have read..:o))). I loved this book. And thanks to the slow start, I would recommend this also to the Archers first readers. You will have time to make yourself comfortable with characters and pace of his story. And it IS a REALLY GOOD ONE with professional background and obvious knowledge of the problematics.

Superb Thriller

This book by Jeffrey Archer (my favorite author) is an unbelievable page-turner that has suspense along with a good storyline. It's hard to put down...

The Eleventh Commandment

I am an avid reader. I am always looking for an new author. This was the first book that I have read by Jeffrey Archer but I can say it will not be the last. I found the book totally entertaining. It was a real page turner, infact I finished the book in one day. I would recommend the book to everyone who enjoy suspence novels.

Archer keeps this first time reader on the edge of his seat.

I complained about paying the $26 for the hardcover book at the kiosk at the airport. But I'd read all the airline magazines and left my latest book purchase at home. I simply had to find something. The Eleventh Commandment was the first book I saw. I was not disappointed. I read this book in record time and hung on every word. I even expected to run into the typical "slow spot" in the middle of the book -( you know the one where the writer drags you on) but it was never there. I loved the Eleventh Commandment. The story telling was great and easy to follow. Jeffrey Archer has a new fan.

An Exceptional book that would make a fantastic movie!

I'd never read Jeffrey Archer before but this book has definitely made me a huge fan. The characters are likable,the plot is interesting without being too redundant (the old story of the secret agent running around the world and just killing people doesn't apply here), and I found the book refreshingly easy to read (of course I had read a Tom Clancy before reading this). I do hope someone makes this into a movie, I'd be the first in line to see it!
