An Author Par Excellence








Today I am going to talk about one of all time favourite authors of English language :Jeffrey Archer.


The best thing about his work is that he is not inhibited by any particular writing style. There is something for everyone in his portfolio. For instance if you are a Novel fan you can try "Shall We Tell the President?" or "As the Crow Flies." On the other hand if you like to read series then you have "Kane and Abel" and its amazing sequel called "The Prodigal Daughter."


If you ask me personally I am a big fan of his short story collections. These include "A Quiver Full of Arrows", "A twist in the Tale", "To Cut a Long Story Short" and "Twelve Red Herrings."


Each of them contains true masterpieces. One story that I read recently was called "One Man's Meat." Here Archere shows diversity where the reader has four alternate endings. He or she can choose to read either one or all of them.


Personally I recommend you all to read these collections. Trust me you'll never regret it.
