" So far, I am amazed at how different this book is from the last one I read by Jeffrey Archer. He is an amazing writer. I am finding this one to be less calloused in its approach. So far, it is an interesting story. I spoke too soon. It was not the type of book I read afterall. "
" This was given to me by a friend and I really enjoyed it! It reminded me a little of Atlas Shrugged with the emphasis on economics, but more characters and a much easier read. :) Would definitely recommend it! "
" If I could give it six stars, I would. "
" This is a fabulous story about two men who meet early in life. They become rivals and then enemies in the hotel business. "
" One of the truly great epic stories. One feels it is based more on truth than fiction. The amazing parallel stories of two seemingly divergent characters whose lives intersect at strategic points in the book. Excellent character development and a continued suspense-filled story! "
