It was different.
Ordinary story, wonderful imagery.

I have rated this book five stars not just for its merit but also to reflect my adoration for this series.
Never before have I read 7 books of one series in 3 weeks. The Clifton Chronicles might not be the greatest work of literature, but it sure pushes the art of storytelling to new heights.

Jeffrey Archer does great justice to character building as an art-form while at the same time making sure he doesn't overdo it at the expense of the plot. I could write pages for all the characters, singing high praises but I would like to give a shout out to Lady Virginia Fenwick. I do not think I have ever disliked any character as much as her and I hope I do not come across a human being half as despicable as her. I would have preferred if she met with an ending befitting her standing but I guess that's what makes Jeffrey Archer a great author and me a lowly reader.

I will definitely be rereading the CC in entirety again, and would recommend it to my friends.

Couldn't have ended any better. The author of this book definitely is one of the wittiest men alive. What started out as a fantasy novel, ended in a biblical fashion of sorts. This book taught me more about faith, belief and trust than any religious scripture(yeah, I've had my share of those too) out there.

Edit: After reading this for the 2nd time after nearly 5 years, I can't believe I'm saying this, but I loved it even more. Brandon Sanderson is an absolute genius. He has ruined the entire fantasy genre for me, no one else's writing comes close to his writing.

Shaping up to be an absolute cracker of a series. Just wish it wasn't a 14 part series of really thick, 1000+ pages tomes.

Meh!I shouldn't have to struggle so much to read a book that's supposedly great :
