I can't stand Jeffrey Archer either and just on principle I won't read his
books. I have only read one Follett book and that is the one we read for the
worms, I wasn't that impressed either.
Love Mandy X

I love Artcher's books. They somehow seem to be a guilty pleasure, mainly
because the man himself appears to be so thoroughly self-absorbed and
utterly dislikeable. His books are often stereotypes, but he can tell a
very good story.
Another good storyteller is Ken Follett. His books vary a good deal and the
coincidences are often hard to swallow, but you always want to know what
will happen next. Neither will win the booker, but I for one always look
out for their latest offerings.

I wouldn't read Herbert if it wasn't for my book group. But there you again,
Clare, being nice! ;-) I've already said that in the main I prefer to read
the more complex characters who are perhaps not so nice, but I do find that
I'm sometimes put off reading a book when I dislike the author. However,
there are exceptions to every personal rule and Geoffrey Archer is one -
odious little man, but I must admit he can tell a good story. I followed the
Koomson thread, and I must confess that I'm intrigued by what was said and
will look out for her.

June, I have only read one James Herbert, and won't be returning to him. I
hadn't heard of Dorothy Koomson until the other day, and now I am falling
over her all over the place. I stumbled across her being interviewed on
Woman's Hour this morning if anyone wants to look for it. She sounded a very
nice person which always encourages me to read people. Clare
