The first look of "Kane and Abel" got me thinking 'Kane and Abel... that sounds like a good old fight between two guys' and I have to say that I wasn't wrong but it was a fight of brains not body. Jeffrey Archer's "Kane and Abel" hovers up on almost all genres - Mystery, thriller, historical fiction, romance and what not.
This is the story of William Kane and Abel Rosnovski. Both Kane and Abel were masters in what they did and were synonyms of success until their lives crossed. Each found other's action unpredictably destroying their career when all they had to do was bury the past and move on.
For me, Jeffrey Archer did a wonderful work of this plot. The way each chronological section moved telling it's piece of story was really a good one. The funny thing about this book is that we get a good glimpse of three generations (or maybe four). The one small thing that got me annoyed was that the novel contains a bunch of banking terms which I had hard time understanding. That's the only thing otherwise everything turned out great. The story unfolded well and I loved the ending (that was my favourite part). I think I'm up for another Jeffrey Archer as long it hasn't got technical unchewable banking terms.
