I read "Kane and Abel" and listened to the recorded tape by Barbara Rosenblat of " The prodigal daughter".
Although I enjoyed both, I found them both too
predictable and only Abel was shown (at first) as an interesting character.

in political science the media is often reffered to as the "the fourth estate of the realm"meaning it comes next after the executive,legislative and judicial branches of government.

Has anyone read his latest book "False Impression" as yet?
Is it good?
Also, in his "Prison Diary III", he mentioned that his next book of short stories, "Cat of Nine Tales" would be out in 2005, but we are already in 2006!! Anyone know anything about it?

I like his short stories best: "A quiver full of arrows", "A twist in the tale", "Twelve Red Herrings" and "To cut a long story short" all have very good stories. My personal favorite is "Old Love" from the first book.

I want to shed a little bit more light on which twin becomes governor. I remember reading a passage in the book where there was another coin toss but I can't place exactly where it is (perhaps in the section on deciding who goes first in one of the debates earlier in the book) and one of the characters (can't remember which one) said the coin toss was a mute point because he always calls "heads" and it would have had the same result no matter who went first... i think if I can find that passage again, it might help confirm who became governor.

Just re-read Kane and Abel for the fourth time and something that has always confused me is why, when Abel rings up Mccarthy does he get such a negative response. I cant quite work out what the click Abel hears. After studying Mccarthyism at school it does interest me to know why Archer felt that Mccarthy would respond so forcefully

I've read every single book of Jeffrey Archer's, and consider myself an expert when it comes to him. He is the best author I've ever come across.
My personal favourites are "Kane and Abel" (I prefer Kane to Abel), "Honour Among Thieves" (My first - after which I fell in love with him), "Sons of Fortune" (give me Fletcher any day), and "As the Crow Flies".
I love his short stories too. "Christina Rosenthal" and "Old Love" are the best.
