Reviews
I tried this book as something different. This turned out to be a book I could not put down. It's got a great story, great writing, and a great ending. It's a book you don't want to miss. Best I've read in a long time.
I read a lot of books and enjoy all kinds of fiction. A Prisoner Of Birth has to be one of the best I've ever read. Archer make the characters come alive for the reader. I couldn't put it down for the last fourth of the book because I needed to find out how it ended. Don't hesitate to get this book and read it, there is no doubt in my mind that anyone who reads it will enjoy it.
Great narration, great story.
