Summary: unbelievable thriller
Comment: This is the first novel I have read by bestselling novelist Jeffrey Archer - and it will likely be the last. "The Eleventh Commandment" stretches credibility to such lengths that I lost all trust in the book. The first assault on credibility is the fact that the main character, Connor Fitzgerald, an assassin for the CIA, is a regular boy-scout kind of guy much admired for the content of his character as well as his chillingly efficient professional skill. Give me a break! Nice, normal guys, I don't think, go around murdering people in cold blood as a profession.
The author is clever at setting a good scene with authentic details and he might have sold me on the notion that nice guys can be assassins - but he couldn't sell me a wholesale lot of plot twists and turns which add up to implausibility. Connor is so smart and has so many friends that leap into the story to help him out at critical points that he outwits everyone - the CIA, the Russians, the Russian Mafya (yes, it's spelled that way) -- evading capture and execution and effortlessly finding opportunities to stalk heavily-guarded world leaders. Thus, about half-way through the book, I began to lose interest in the story and from then on I just turned pages quickly to get to the end.
Rating: 5
Summary: Global Politics at It's Best
Comment: Connor Fitzgerald is a hit-man for the CIA. After icing a (drug lord) prospective presidential candidate in Columbia he is detailed to Russia for another mission.
Does the president know about this mission or is this a plan by the director of the CIA to get ahead (I won't spoil the plot).
This is a great book. It will keep you in suspense from the word go. I read this book in one afternoon while relaxing with my kids by the pool.
This book is a must read. If you havn't read anything by Mr. Archer (This was my first), let me recommend this title as your first.
If you like authors such as Tom Clancy, you will like this book.

Summary: I did not enjoy reading it at all.....
Comment: Its Funny to think a person such as Jerrery Archer who has written books as Kane and Abel {which is almost a legend} to write a very mediocre book such as The 11th commandment ... The book starts off well but then it starts to the stuck in the same place for long moments and this is very frustrating and boring ...in short after i finished this book i felt very dissatisfied at the story and the very predictable ending that this book has...ahhh thats one more point the book is extremly predictable all the way .... I will not recommend this book .... look for another book from JA or many other good fiction authors ,i am not going to write a list here.
