Be Careful What You Wish For (The Clifton Chronicles)

Jeffrey Archer always manages to produce excellent books. This is in that tradition.
Possibly another cliff hanger !!!!!!!
Great read

Another brilliant book in the series. Now I've finished it, I can get out more. Roll on 2015 for the next one. [Anyone else think it's a little odd for 2 'readers' to review the book without actually reading it?]

Could not put it down, one of 4 great books, a story that covered three generations, surprise after surprise, another great story from a master story teller.

The eagerly awaited latest book in the Clifton Chronicles series. As ever full of twists and intrigues. I can,t believe I have to wait until 2015 to find out what happens on the Buckingham. Jeffrey Archer has done it again.

In the fourth Clifton Cronicles we await the fate of young Sebastian Clifton and Bruno Martinez after their horrific car accident on the A1 but who survived well you find out very early on before delving into more drama and suspense. A beloved character meets her ironic demise and Don Pedro Martinez still holds a strong vendetta against the Barrington and Clifton Families. Lady Virginia once again installs her vulgar opinions and a child is born as well as much more. A must read as it's predecessors have been.

Having read all the other Clifton Chronicles I eagerly awaited this book. I was not disappointed but again a cliff hanger at the end leaving you none the wiser of the outcome and the next one not due to 2015 !!!

so sorry to have to say this as I have enjoyed all of his books, up to now. feel cheated as yet again a cliffhanger and another year to wait for next volume, I feel old Jeffrey is milking this story, there are some good bits, but not up to or near his standard.

I looked forward to this next instalment. I have to say this epic ongoing story is getting very predictable and extremely long winded. Mr Archer must be laughing his head off as we all continue to purchase each instalment. He has obviously taken a leaf out of J K Rowling's Harry Potter and realised he can almost be as rich as her by stringing this out as long as possible. Pity because I love Archer but this is taking the mockery out of his very loyal readers.

Be Careful What You Wish is as enjoyable as the other books in the series. With an amazing plot and highly credible character development of the protagonists and others in the book, the Jeffrey Archer combined these with his great knowledge of the time to accomplish such an outstanding story that is worthy of read. I enjoyed it a lot and recommend it to all readers who like unique books especially sagas of such a wide scope. I equally enjoyed Disciples of Fortune, Kane and Abel.

I have friends who will not read a series of books until they have brought them all. Having been frustrated at having to wait until 2015 to see how this ends I am beginning to see there point. That is how good this series of books it. I was frustrated at the end of the last one and I am frustrated at the end of this one. I hate waiting.

The story starts exactly where the last left us and continues the story of all the characters we have come to love in the Clifton Chronicles. As the novels progress the author focuses more on the next generation of Clifton's and how there life progresses. The author has also introduced some new characters who are just as engaging as previous characters.

The story is full of the traditional intrigue and excitement. I have always loved Jeffrey Archer books and this series is one of my favourites. Can't wait to read the last in the series even if I have to wait until 2015.
