The Fourth Estate - Jeffrey Archer
The book is about Keith Townsend and Richard Armstrong, and their rivalry to become the biggest Newspaper Baron. The book first acquaints us with the families and childhood of the these two characters. In typical Archer style, it then moves into their personal and professional life. How their paths cross, how each of them tries to go one up on the other, who wins in the end is for you to read and find out.
In my opinion, the middle part of the book is boring. Also the end is very hurried... Some people say that this book is similar to "Kane and Abel", but I don't agree!
The good part about the book is the excellent character build up and the duel between the two characters.
Overall, I would rate this book as 3/5.. but Archer has written better books.
