Prison Diaries: Reviews

"The books form the most detailed and illuminating account of life spent under lock and key since Dostoyevsky."

-- Roger Lewis, Mail on Sunday

"The finest thing the he has ever written ... so clear and crisp is the prose, a vivid and almost "live" account which bubbles with Dickensian detail and a Shavian sense of outrage ... riveting."

-- Independent on Sunday

"There is no member of the current Tory Opposition front bench to whom I would not recommend this book - but then the same would have to go for the majority of the government front bench and especially, perhaps, its Home Office team."

-- Anthony Howard, Sunday Times

"Gruesome, touching, sharply written ... they are the best thing Archer has written in years."

-- Sunday Telegraph

"Jeffrey Archer raises these diaries to the standards of a prison Pepys by being such an assiduous recorder of fellow inmates' secrets."

- - Jonathan Aitken, Mail on Sunday
