Pure entertainment.
Another excellent, entertaining story by Jeffrey Archer. I was sorely disappointed when I realized there was an unabridged version as I wanted it to last longer.
I listened to the audiobook on my way to and from work and found myself sitting in the car for a few moments to get as much in at the last minute.
Excellent listen and I'm now a confirmed Jeffrey Archer fan.
