A Prison Diary Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Never read any of Archer's work before this memoir, but the audiobook (digitized from cassette) was pretty good. Unsure if his experience would translate to American prisons, especially considering his racial and class privileges, but the other prisoner's stories are more universal. "

" I was hesitant about reading this book initially, since it is a diary. But since I am reading a lot of Jeffrey Archer's lately, I decided to give it a go. As it turned out, this diary is not solely about him, but true stories of the other inmates as well. Like what he has written, I find them very difficult to come to terms with, having had such a sheltered upbringing myself. I will continue reading volume 2. "

" An interesting look at the life in jail of Jeffrey Archer when he is incarcerated for perjury. Interesting to see the prison life through a writers eye, very factual and the problems his fame brings with him. "

" Good stuff! I'll likely read the other two in this trilogy. "

" Very interesting read, certainly raises questions that need answering. Like how can prisoners become more addicted to drugs in prison. "

" The Borden inside is shown in the book "

" English politician sentenced to four years in prison for perjury. This is his daily diary. I love the British humor .... reminds me of friends I had. "

" A superb diary/account of prison life. Thoroughly enjoyable, harrowing, funny, thought-provoking and thrilling all at the same time. Now onwards to Purgatory.... "

" pretty good on to the next book "

" I don't think he ever should have gone to prison, but his account is a well worth read "

" I suprised myself by really enjoying this book. It's a very interesting look at prison and prison life. "

" It makes you wonder about the British legal/ prision system. "

" Interesting read, enjoyed reading about his experience. "

" A small insight to the world of NO rights "

" Jeffrey Archer's prison tales are captivating and knowing they are true stories adds to the appeal. "

" A dairy kept by the author of his first 22 days in one of Great Britain's high security prisons. It was compelling reading that tried to show the problems that both the prisoners and guards faced at such a facility. "

" It was a really slow paced and boring book till where i read. :/ "

" I liked this book and read it in a very short time. Highly recommend it if you are from England originally, or if you are interested in how the prison system in England is a little different from the U S A. There are three books in this series, so be sure and read all three. "

" Interesting perspective. Never really thought about what it would be like in prison. "

" TBW 2.9/5 "

" Chilling and insightful - a fascinating view from behind bars and the life of the prisoners there. "

" It had me with the title and didn't disappoint. "

" This is a complex story about 4 young men who via for the title of British Prime Minister. It takes a master to weave so many stories together into one coherent novel. Again, the ending will surprise most readers. "

" best political novel and best work of Archer "

" This is a definitely Holiday Reading book, but the story is plausible. I preferred the book to the TV adaptation. "

" the plot is a little dragging.however, archer knows how to keep you interested.-love gargi "

" Everything Archer writes is wonderful. This is among the best. "

" Sort of complicated, from my point of view, cos it talks too much of American politics. But I will finish reading it someday! :) "

" Lots of information about Britain's Parliament. None of the three main characters were appealing to me so it was kinda hard to really get into the book. Also with all of the close votes it reminded me of Sons of Fortune. Probably shouldn't have read those books back to back. 2 1/2 stars "

" A good insight into the world of Britishpolitics n the working of the parliament......albeit fictional... "

" I certainly learned a LOT about the British Parliament. And it was kinda fun to know this was written in 1984 and to see where the author predicted accurately and where not. I'd like to read the British version, which I gather has 4 main characters instead of 3. "

" I have enjoyed most of Archer's books, finding them not only interesting but informative and entertaining. This is a clear exception. The book was tedious and boring with only momentary and fleeting episodes of interest or intrique. Overall, it was disappointing. "

" Story-telling at its best...as usual. "

" Super read. The Suspense, tensions, characters, the plot, the fast pace. All Archer's trademarks. All exemplified here. Fabulous. "
