"As The Crow Flies" is another of Jeffrey archer's typical rags to riches story of the saga of Charlie Trumper whom, after his grandfather's death, takes over running of his fruit cart in the streets of London during the first few years of the 20th century. from the smallfruit barrow, charlie's next step is becky's baker shop...n then he leaves it all to go fyt in the 1st world war...n he returns only to find his small empire still runnin though not very succesfully in becky's able hands..n frm there its a saga...romance, thrill and fun all mixed in the rite amount..remember there are so many lovely characters like daphne, daniel and the charmin young lady called sally..and as for the the masala part, it is added by Guy Trentham and his snob of a mother, who is also the greatest villian in this story and in one sense it is as much her story as it is charlie's...
now the book is lyk sooo long...!!! he cud hav cut short much of it..but its written in a very different format altogher...the book looks at life frm many many angles...u knw jus lyk u watch a film...theres the villian's story given as much importance as the protagonist's..and its arranged very chronologically...no lookin baks u knw...
SO i give it a 3.75 upon 5 !!! go ahead and enoy..cheers!!!
Enjoy!
