Quote of the day:
I cannot teach anybody anything. I can only make them think. -Socrates
This week I continue with the Clifton Chronicles, the fourth volume in the Archer series. The last volume was a roller coaster and 'Be Careful What You Wish For' is proving to be so too. The beauty of this entire series is that it feels like one giant book -like I've only been reading one book as the stories are woven brilliantly into each other.

The book starts off on a fast pace with a gripping plot twist, and recounts a series of events that may well change the fortunes of the family forever.
In this fourth volume, the story continues from the late 1950s to the mid '60s, with the Clifton family saga, and an unlikely villain who will stop at nothing to seek revenge-even if it destroys everyone. Its filled with suspense, and intrigue. It is indeed a wonderful page turner.
So tell me, what book(s) are you reading? Have a wonderful week ahead!
Peace.Love.Light*

ReplyDeleteI am going to have to check out some of the books by Jeffrey Archer...you seem to enjoy his writings as do some others.

Is this the last book in the series? I love to get involved in a series and read them one book after the other.

So true that quote saying and thd book I heard it was really good to read great author.
ReplyDeleteTrue, we can only guide or advice them. The rest is up to them
ReplyDeleteI loove books ♥ reading is the most powerful thing for me...books brings me to other interesting and magical worlds! I love novels, biographies, psychology, metaphysics ...It's amazing how when reading unify with the author, see his eyes, but also run its own huge imagination.. ♥

I would like to read this, it's so long since I read an Archer book. If they're a roll-on series I must be careful to get them in the right order.
ReplyDeleteNice. Cool that archer fried them so well together . I have been reading Andrea Gibson this week. A performance poet.
ReplyDeleteI'm reading A Change of Gravity by George Higgins.
ReplyDeleteI am inclined to disagree with Socrates on that aspect...sometimes you can't even make them think. My mother says that all the time...Be careful what you wish for...you just might get it.
ReplyDeleteI just finished a re-read of "The Crossing Places". The first book in a series I love, love, love. My husband was reading it on his Galaxy and I re-read the book, along with him. So we could talk about it. :-)
ReplyDeleteDon't think he is asssss in-love-with this, as I am. But that's fine. He did enjoy it. That's what counts.

I've never read anything by Jeffrey Archer, but this sounds fascinating. I'm still reading a book about Ted Bundy...been working on it all month!
ReplyDeleteGood morning dear!!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a good read. How was your weekend?
would make a good TV series, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteRight now, I'm on a reading/writing hiatus with work sucking all my time and energy.
ReplyDeleteI'm reading a book that was rated well, but doesn't seem to be that great.
ReplyDeleteThe author probably faked the reviews or something.
Not reading now. Just trying to decide.
ReplyDeleteBe careful what you wished for....this title set me thinking about what we wished for!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your thoughts on this book!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a great read, I hope you love it!
ReplyDeleteI'm just starting Crossed by Eliza Crewe, it is the last book in her Soul Eaters Trilogy and I'm so sad after this it will be over!
Oh, i should read those. I'm currently reading "emotional Intelligence" by Daniel Coleman
ReplyDeleteSounds like an interesting book
ReplyDeleteTonight I finished this book "I'll Give You the Sun" is really good
Thanks for your review
