Really enjoyed this book. Admittedly this was not a "complicated thriller" but a decent yarn.

A Prisoner of Birth is a modern remake of Alexander Dumas's classic The Counte of Monte Cristo from the pen of Jeffrey Archer.

Archer has created a masterpiece. Other reviewers have noted that the story is far from original but I am convinced that this does not make the book any less exciting.

It is difficult not get caught up in the excitement of the book.

It is a well crafted and the plot races along. We get plenty of insight into British upper classes and law courts which are described better (and more realistically) than the East End characters. Not arty but very entertaining.

Both of these books create scary thoughts of innocent men in jail and who is responsible for that or if ever will be punished.
I liked the title of the book "A ... Read More
