Note from the LesBlog Editorial Board: The LesBlog Editorial Board apologizes for the delay in reviews of late. For not only is this the Longest Book Ever Written, but our main reviewer was busy Falling in Love during the reading of the Longest Book Ever Written. Needless to say, we've had more important things on our mind.

LesOpinion: This unwieldy collection of Jeffrey Archer's early works is a misguided attempt to collect the author's freshman oeuvres into a giant tome with print so small it takes a magnifying glass to read it in the hope that it would make it seem like the quality of Literature that simply cries out to be anthologized for posterity. Don't shit a shitter, Mr. Publisher, Mr. Archer may tell a good story, but it's the same story over and over: the tale of rich people, high falutin' educations, and games of financial one upsmanship, all of it begging the question, "how often can one beat a dead horse and still be thought original?"
