I am reading "Not a penny more, not a penny less" by Jeffrey Archer. This book is quite interesting, because it is a about a person who had no family left, and was left alone. He had to find him self inside this big world, and find a way of making a living. Through his early years of being a messenger boy, he would read mail he thought was important. Through this he managed to make money by conning people, and by buying and selling companies. Through out this book I thinK Harvey has matured as a character, and didn't seem as much as a greedy little boy eager for money. I think Harvey has used his brain to good use by knowing what was going on at what time”
“A fabulous book..As fast paced as any of Jefferey Archer's book with the element of surprise and the exciting twists and turns”

“An early work of Archer, "Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less" is a nice read for a weekend, if you wish to take up some light-reading. Cheated of a million US dollars, four men try to get even with the perpetrator of this crime by stringing him out of the million, not a penny more not a penny less. Serendipitous adventures of four common men against an enemy armed with cunning and shrewdness seldom seen in one man, this story will simply make your weekend bright. Though don't expect the same effect as "Kane and Abel" or "A Prisoner of Birth".”
