05 - Only Time Will Tell, by Jeffrey Archer, Pan MacMillan, 450 pages, 2011
WHY I PICKED IT: I've read every book of fiction that Jeffrey Archer has written
ELAPSED TIME: 2 days
RATING: Good
This book is classic Archer. A character that is "good" (Harry Clifton) another that is "not good" (Hugo Barrington) and a tale that spans decades that sucks you into their lives.
Harry Clifton is a lower class-born child in Bristol in the aftermath of the Great War ... his natural talents, great role models and advocates, and hard work all combine to get him opportunities to move up in society. Hugo Barrington is the father of his best friend... will do anything he can to keep Harry down (despite being the grandson of a dock worker himself).
This is an engrossing story and a fast read. I can't wait for Volume Two of the Clifton Chronicles.
This blog is a simple review of every book that I read... For all books I’ll tell you why I picked it, how long it took me to read it, and give it a rating (burn it, not good, meh, good, very good, and required reading). I ask (encourage?) all readers of my blog to post their thoughts of any of the books in my comments :). Thanks!
