Summary: strong start, weak finish
Review: the first three-quarters of the book were fantastic. the last quarter, the book seems to fall apart with predictable plot twists and never ending cliches. nevertheless, the book is a fun read.

Summary: A real page turner
Review: The story revolves around two men who are born on the same day in two different parts of the world . . . but destiny makes them each other's worst enemies. One born in poverty stricken Poland the other the son of a Bostonian millionaire. The epic story revolves around the struggle of both men to make it to the top on their own terms. The number of times these two men's paths cross, unbeknownst to them, are amazing. The characters are richly drawn. It is a real page turner and you will not want to put it down. The saving grace of finding this book "late"is that the sequel, `Prodigal Daughter', as almost as good as the first! Alas the re-tooling of `Shall We Tell the President?' as book three in the series did not fair as well. Like many of Archers books it is well worth reading again!
