Top 5 Jeffrey Archer books

Hello readers! This post is a revamped version of an old post of mine with the same title. I had to do away with the old one, I’m sorry to say, as it had some display issues.

Anyway, the content is the same, so I hope this post gets as much love as the old one got. Let’s go!

I must add, I haven’t read all of Jeffrey Archer’s books but with whatever little knowledge I possess, I wish to share my top 5 reads and hope that this helps you, whether you are new to the author or are looking to read one of his books. Please note, I haven’t included any of his short stories or plays here. They can make a different post, what say?

So, here goes!

1. Kane and Abel

My first pick has to be Kane and Abel. Although it is the first book in a series, it has to be Archer’s finest work. The story includes everything from drama, romance, politics and rivalry and is sure to leave a lasting impression on the reader. A must read.

2. False Impression

The thought of False Impression brings a smile to my face. A great storyline and an amazing climax, it is absolutely unpredictable. A delightful read, especially for art lovers.

3. Paths of Glory

I read this book on a whim. I had no idea who George Mallory was or what he had accomplished. This book sheds light on one of the most intriguing and debatable subject there is. An extremely powerful and heart warming read. Click here to read my review of this book.

4. Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less

This book will always have a special place in my heart as it is the first Jeffrey Archer book I ever read. Incidentally, it was the first book by the author too. The book has a great story and an even greater ending.

5. A Prisoner of Birth

One of my favourite classics is The Count of Monte Cristo. I love the idea of avenging oneself and the way it was penned by Dumas was exceptional. A Prisoner of Birth is inspired by the same classic but with a modern twist. Needless to say, I enjoyed every bit of the book and always recommend it.

So these were my top 5 reads of Jeffrey Archer. What re your favorites? Let me know in the comments section.
