Jeffrey Archer

This Was a Man

Ayden

While reading this book I couldn’t wait to write a review and now that it’s done I’m in too somber a mood 

I will say that while reading the thee musketeers I found many similarities between Dumas and Jeffery archer and these similarities were further enforced when I saw how alike lady Virginia and Milady are 
Archer did write a retelling of the count of monte cristo so I should’ve made this connection earlier

Anyway back to the book I’m so familiar with Jeffery archers style that sadly the plot has become quite predictable (though I didn’t expect the bad guys to lose the entire book, half way through there weren’t really any bad guys left)

This book could’ve been slightly shorter though I’m relieved it wasn’t since parting with the Clifton chronicles is hard enough 

All in all it had many flaws that I haven’t even mentioned (like only girls being allowed to win at anything or how every character has an obscene amount of ambition) 

But I still loved it and the ending despite being perfect still broke my heart
