"I absolutely love Jeffrey Archer's writing style. The Clifton Chronicles one of my favorite series. This was written equally well, I am just a happy ending reader. Knowing the synopsis given when deciding if to buy it, you can pretty much guess all things will not end up roses. Great book however"

Kane and abel Books Reviews

• Jeffrey Archer is a consummate story teller and “Kane and Able” is a fantastic example of his skill. When I first read this book 20 years ago, it was only a single title and Archer was an up ‘n comer. Now, I’m able to read the series without waiting for the next volume to be written; a decided advantage.
  
  Archer constructs plots like the finest of architects would plan a gravity defying building. Every intersection, angle, roofline and basement meld in perfect harmony. They support the characters, their hopes, dreams, plots and schemes as well as those of the family members of future generations.
  
  The characters are wonderful and fully executed. Rich backgrounds are provided with complete histories that some have complained about. I found that level of detail intriguing and helped make me part of the family. It’s easy enough to skim these parts if you’re easily bored by this type of prose. It’s not what I’d call “filler fodder”, however, it really does flesh out the story, imho. The dialogue is fantastic and well in keeping with both the historical time periods and geographical backgrounds.
  
  There is a bit of light swearing but nothing too offensive or that doesn’t fit with the situation. The same applies to sexual content and violence. Lots of emotional, passionate people are presented in the pages of “Kane and Abel”. The opportunity to view their lives, learn from their mistakes and triumphs is well worth the time invested in reading this almost 600 page treasure.
• I very much enjoyed this book. I was completely engrossed in the two boys lives and all the drama that went on. As they got older their feud was clearly pointless and unnecessary . That was frustrating . There is a bittersweet ending which saddened me, but I guess with a feud like that some sadness comes with it. Overall I really enjoyed the story!
• I think Kane and Able is one of the best books that Jeffery Archer has written. I read it years ago when it first came out, and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it for the second time. I live in a senior retirement community and have passed it around to friends here and they also really loved it. After reading it, I purchased the next 2 in the series, which I had never read, and enjoyed them very much. They are also being passed around. I have a kindle, but when a book like this is so great, I buy the book so my friends can have the pleasure of reading it. Then they are donated to our library.
• I absolutely love Jeffrey Archer's writing style. The Clifton Chronicles one of my favorite series. This was written equally well, I am just a happy ending reader. Knowing the synopsis given when deciding if to buy it, you can pretty much guess all things will not end up roses. Great book however
• The biblical story of Cain and Abel kept interfering with my ability to process the story, but I enjoyed every twist and turn of the plot line. At first I had a hard time deciding who was my hero. When I finally let go of trying to write the story myself, I enjoyed every word of Mr. Archer's.
• Archer's detailed grasp of the times and the local color of the cities and countries of this saga carries you along in an improbable story of two driven men who are enemies for life, one a scrappy Russian immigrant and the other a strategic Boston Brahmin. Yet, ironically, they are really not, but their social roles and pride made them do it!
• Awesome product. Awesome seller.We had some problems with the velcro coming apart during the night.We left an unsatisfactory review earlier. I'm writing now to say this is a good product made by a very awesome seller.The seller immediately responded and sent us a replacement. The binding on the edges and the velcro seemed to be redesigned resulting in no more popped fasteners in the night. And, the new model is much more comfortable to wear.Thoughtful touches include a sweat band if one is prone to that.This seller makes a great product. They are gracious and quick to respond to problems.Highly recommend!
• "Kane & Abel" is an epic tale following the lives of William Kane and Abel Rosnovski. The two men are born on the same day in 1906 into drastically different situations - Kane into Bostonian wealth and Abel into Polish poverty. The reader is in for a real journey as they infants grow into young prodigies, they both face setbacks, and they both display a domineering will to succeed. The timeframe for this book includes two World Wars, the Great Depression, McCarthyism, and the election of John Kennedy. The author deftly tied these events into the story and uses them to bring the men together in what becomes a life-long battle between the two.
  
  In the end, this is a moving tale of struggle, revenge, and pride. We see the terrible cost financially and emotionally that each man pays as they refuse to budge on their positions, and the impact this has on the men and their families. Neither man was a saint, and I found myself switching between the two as to which I liked the best. This was an entertaining read, and one that made me think about the choices we make and how hard it is to forgive.
