Author: Jeffrey Archer
Name: The Eleventh Commandment
Rating: 4 stars

Your average Archer book with fast moving plot etc. Two things stuck out however. First, Archer's image of Finland is very strange indeed. He should get his facts straight. Second, are the car companies of the world paying him for an ad campaign or what? At one point there are several pages devoted purely for wondering whan an amazing thing it is to have a car that is a whopping THIRTEEN years old. I don't know what fantasy world Archer lives in, but I sure as hell don't know a place in the world where a 13 year old car is hailed as a miracle comparable to the second coming or whatever. Archer seems a bit detached from reality in this case.
