Book Review: As The Crow Flies, Jeffrey Archer November 8, 2007
Posted by Martin in : Book Reviews , trackback
I really enjoyed this book as it was very different to what I expected from Archer. I'd always assumed he wrote exclusively murder-mystery but this novel, set in England in the early 20th century was a refreshing change.
It follows the life of a young barrow boy caled Charlie Trumper who builds up his grocery cart business into a large super-store. The excitement builds around rivalry with a rich family who seek to cause Charlie problem, and whilst parts of the story seemed a little silly I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. It's quite easy to predict that harlie will battle his obstacle so I enjoyed reading a book where I wasn't made to feel anxious and ould just relax knowing that the good guys would overcome the odds.
My Rating 7/10
