Really worth reading!
I knew Jeffrey Archer had been in prison but not what it was actually like.

My very first Jeffrey archer title and it won’t be my last!!!
Binge listened in 48 hours. Loved this from the very first page. Will certainly be listening to the rest of the prison diaries. Maybe some of his others too. Narration was first class. So glued by each section. A real eye opener and have discovered some things I didn’t know. Just downloading the next title further to this. Another 48 hours on and off listen I’m thinking. This kept me gripped and saying oh I’ll just listen for another 15 mins to realise another few chapters had moved along. Deserves more than 5 stars for everything. One for my new collections library.

Fabulous
A most gripping and well written piece of what seems a real life tale of injustice and survival.
I would like part 2 but am unable to acquire it on audio book.

Insightful
Despite this being 20 years ago it is sad knowing some most of the issues are still with us today. JA is a master storyteller I sometimes forgot it was his actual life. Also wonderfully narrated by Martin Jarvis

Enlightening.
Surprised how well Jeffrey handled his time in Hellmarsh. I think a lot had to do with the other prisoners looking out for him and his seemingly positive attitude drawn upon in unfamiliar circumstances and surroundings.

Insight into life inside
Enjoyed the narrator’s voice and the way the days were documented. Interesting to be seen from the perspective of someone not used to this type of life

Brilliant!
Absolutely compelling. I raced through this, brilliant reading by Martin Jarvis (as ever) adding to the fascinating and often moving account of Jeffrey Archer 's time in prison, or at least the first instalment of. It sounds like he generally won the conference if those he was imprisoned with, and helped some to choose their paths, though of course this is just Archer's account. It must have taken a lot, for someone in his position to have to get used to being referred to as 'Archer'. The line that struck me the most was his comment that, for the first time in his life, he had to get used to moving at the speed of others. For such a self-starter, that can't have been easy.

An honest report. Well, pretty much.
An interesting insight by a master storyteller. I'll be buying the next two volumes to see how the tale pans out. Of course I know he gets out!
