Discussing Jeffrey Archer's works

[ramsri]

jeffrey archer's real forte, is his penchant for the short story - he really should do more of this rather than wiriting those long-winding novels like "the fourth estate", "as the crow flies" - they just seem to drag.
of course, as far as the short stories go, he's arguably THE best - i know roald dahl writes pretty good short stories too, but archer's style is really good. my personal favourites are "never stop on the motorway", "clean sweep ignatius" and "do not pass go"

of course, a few of his novels were good too - esp "shall we tell the pres", "the eleventh commandment" and "honour among thieves"
