Really enjoyed this story and the pace also. Jeffrey is a gifted author that creates characters we can relate with and still manages to throw a surprise ending in also. Well done and I'm quite sure others will enjoy his work also. ( ) Danny Cartwright es un joven de clase obrera a punto de casarse y ser padre. Una fatídica noche, sale a celebrar su compromiso y el hermano de su prometida es acuchillado en una pelea callejera y Danny es acusado del homicidio, por lo que es condenado a veinte años de cárcel por homicidio. En prisión comparte celda con Moncrieff, un oficial del ejército injustamente condenado por desacato, y su chofer Big Al. Junto a ellos aprovecha para mejorar sus modales y sus conocimientos mundanos. En una reyerta carcelaria Moncrieff es confundido con Danny y asesinado. El asesinato abre la vía para que Danny pueda suplantar la identidad del difunto oficial. Así, semanas más tarde, Danny sale en libertad bajo el nombre de Nicholas Moncrieff dispuesto a reclamar su herencia, recuperar su vida y ejecutar su venganza. Professional book reviewers seem to take great delight in trying to destroy Jeffrey Archer's reputation as a popular author. They ignore the fact that his books regularly top the best sellers lists and have sold millions of copies world-wide. I've never read an Archer that I didn't like - The plots are well paced and the characters force you to root for them. These are what I'd define as genuine page-turners. A Prisoner of Birth doesn't disappoint and makes a great modern retelling of the classic Alexandre Dumas novel The Count of Monte Cristo. Well recommended for all Archer fans and also anyone who has been put off by the reviews from so-called 'experts' Mr Archer's reputation in other areas may be a little murky but as a teller of tales he is up there with the best. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
