He hasn't lost steam at all. <br />The ending of Not a penny more, not a penny less (I got this book for my 12/13th birthday I think) had me sitting and staring at the book for a few minutes, I think. A brilliant first book to start off a brilliant career. <br /><br />Which is your favorite archer novel?Sakhi Shahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16140147799115440477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3715098673309673728.post-19143862671688088162010-07-09T03:34:30.323-07:002010-07-09T03:34:30.323-07:00Archer has, and will remain one of the best author...Archer has, and will remain one of the best authors around! His writings are sheer magic!!<br />Its not a rare sight to find someone sitting with an open mouth after he's just finished a novel/short story by the author!<br />It happens to me atleast!! 'As the Crow Flies', 'Not a Penny more, Not a Penny less' did that to me! :PPiyushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10443597128823442738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3715098673309673728.post-89435586573490923062010-06-29T07:15:33.834-07:002010-06-29T07:15:33.834-07:00Hi,

I am definitely going to be reading through your reviews, before picking up my next book. <br /><br />Have you read "Blink" by Malcolm Caldwell yet? Or "Shantaram" by Gregory David Roberts? Thoroughly recommend both. Oh, and "Kite Runner" too, if you haven't read that either. <br /><br />P.S. I agree with the earlier comment - you do not write your reviews like a 16 year old. But then, you don't read what most 16-yr olds too either. <3 uAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3715098673309673728.post-60449792314632877102010-06-26T07:41:02.018-07:002010-06-26T07:41:02.018-07:00Thank you for the compliment.

I like Archer short stories more than his novels, but haven't read this one. Will read it on my next train journey. <br /><br />Also, you should try reading RK Narayan short stories if you haven't already. They are very good, and very Indian.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
