Nothing false about False Impressions September 6, 2008
R. Mcpherson (UK)
As this book was my first venture into an Archer book I must admit it was quite an enjoyable read that kept me entertained and did exactly what it said. However the book is not without its flaws, the main protagonist's somewhat cosy relationship with the Mr. Nakamura was altogether too convenient and served to fill gaps in the plot. The professional and private relationship between the main protagonist Dr. Petrescu and Jack Delaney was developed far too late for me to even care and I found myself wanting to read the exploits of the assassin Krantz and the predicaments she faced. If your after a page turner that turns at every point, you'll do no better than to delve into this novel. However, in retrospect however if you're after a more detailed character based plot look elsewhere.
 Pageturner let down by the ending August 26, 2008
Mr. P. Waters (Boston, MA USA)
Nothing further to add to the title really; enjoyed the high tempo cat'n'mouse yarn and how 9/11 provided an original context...
...However, the main characters live happily ever after and any revelations in the final pages were predictable (yawn). That's entertainment I guess!
I was hoping for complete carnage at the end with the possibility of the next novel being from the perspective of Olga the Hitwoman (the most interesting character)... It still leaves the possibility of a sequel, as she escapes death, but I doubt it would have much commercial attraction to Archer's publishers. Happy to be proved wrong.

Good fast paced story that really gets you gripped early. Has the added drama of being set at the time of the 9/11 disaster. Main characters interesting and well described.
Well worth the read

Nonsense yet a pageturner December 29, 2007
Darren Simons (Middlesex, United Kingdom)
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
It's difficult to know what to make of this book... on the one hand it's easy-to-read and a real page turner. The characters are fairly simple to understand, the plot is fairly sequential, and I suppose you'd consider this good holiday reading material. Certain aspects seem very well researched and it's a book that's easy to put down and pick up again without having to go back too far.
On the other hand I would have expected more from Jeffrey Archer - compared to some of his earlier books this is several steps backwards. His characters are not believable, the storyline is far fetched to put it mildly, there's something just thoroughly unconvincing about this book.
If I was to make a comparison to anything I would actually liken this book to some of the Sean Dillon stories by Jack Higgins - a page-turner yet completely off this planet!
In terms of a rating, I'd give it five stars for being a page-turner, and one star for being unconvincing... so an average of 3 seems about right.
