What will you do when you have to choose between your passion and love? Paths of Glory by Jeffrey Archer tells us the story of one such man who chooses one among them and what that path had for him.
The book is written in the most lucid manner and tries to indulge you till the end. The first few chapters, where the foundation of the characters are laid, does not give out anything about how the story is going turnaround. But at a point, you get a fair idea of it and start guessing the climax. At the end of the story though most of you will find that your guess was right still you will find there was an element of surprise which you had not envisaged.
Those who try to make parallel with Kane and Abel will be disappointed as this story does not indulge so deep into the characters and plot. Though you may find that the central theme of both stories; of people who are able to do extraordinary; you will miss the exhilarating experience which Kane and Abel presents. While you feel like reading Kane and Abel again after a period of time, I doubt whether the Paths of Glory will be able to invoke that feeling. However, this story can be quick inspiration for those interested in adventures.
I chose to read this between many other thick books and found it to be a good, one - time quick read.
