Jeffrey Archer's Kane and Abel was a global phenomenon when it was first released, selling over one million copies in its first week of sale, and it has captivated fans worldwide ever since.

They had only one thing in common . . . William Lowell Kane and Abel Rosnovski, one the son of a Boston millionaire, the other a penniless Polish immigrant – two men born on the same day on opposite sides of the world, their paths destined to cross in the ruthless struggle to build a fortune.

Kane and Abel is the marvellous story, spanning sixty years, of two powerful men linked by an all-consuming hatred, brought together by fate to save . . . and finally destroy . . . each other.

Jeffrey Archer's international bestseller is followed by the enthralling sequel, The Prodigal Daughter.

Breathtaking book.

I read this years ago and always remembered it as my favorite ever.

Many, many books later and once again I found it enthralling

And now some guy actually reads it to me as well .

If you have never read it you really must do

And don't miss the Clifton Chronicles either.

Archer is quite simply the best British story teller of them all.

This book I have been wanting to listen to for years, as I remember years ago it was televised and I missed the very last episode. I have finally finished it and it has been one of the best books for me. The narrator makes all the difference to a ''good'' listen and in some cases is more important than the story its self, well when you have to listen to the same voice for many hours, its got to be brilliant, and Kane & Abel was fabulous. Jason Culp, well his voice is a dream. Full marks to all!

I would recommend this listen to young and old as its such a gripping story, so much so I found it hard to put down. I loved it and thanks to Jeffrey Archer for writing such a brilliant book.

A great tale of ambition, rivalry, revenge and tragedy brought to life by a good narrator. I found his narration a bit stilted when it wasn’t dialogue, but his voices and accents were great.

I hadn’t read this for about 30 years so had forgotten some of the plot and it was lovely to get lost in this again.

Classic tale well delivered

I remember the TV series back in the eighties and my sympathies then leaned more towards Abel but whilst listening to this brilliant book I became engrossed in the story & my sympathies switched to Kane. I got a little frustrated with what seemed like Abels vendetta against Kane albeit misinformed & my heart was sad when Kane lost the chairmanship of his beloved bank partly due to the misunderstandings & stubbornness of both men. I admit that I did shed a tear when the story revealed that Kane had died & missed his longed for reunion with his son, and when Abel finally discovered who his benefactor was. This is a very good story and well read by Jason Culp. You won't want to stop listening once you've started.

I read this book 30 years ago and thought it would be good to re-visit it in audio format. So glad I did as the narrator brings it to life with his skilful use of accents and pleasant reading voice.

No doubt about it, Archer might be out of fashion but what a storyteller! I really enjoyed this trip down memory lane.
