During my holiday,I got hold of the latest book by JA, Only Time Will Tell.
Being a fan of JA myself since my high-school days, I grew up having Kane&Abel and The Prodigal Daughter as my must-read-yearly-basis books. But I couldn't say the same for Only Time Will Tell.
The book based on Harry Clinton's life with all the twisted plots that already existed in JA's previous books plus some new exaggerating plots such as an assumed crazy old man who knew everything around him while being outcast by the community. There are also Harry's father who hates him and Harry end up married his own half-sister. If that's not enough, the book ends with Harry took a new identity of murderer without knowing it.
Too much exaggerating conflicts, in my opinion. But, it still got the touch of JA since you can't let down of the book till the end. Worth reading if you have time, but it will not be on my yearly basis reading list. Once is enough, or maybe when the 2nd part of the book come out to refresh the chronological plot.
A very nice book with extra-ordinary plot and story. You can not leave it once started. A touching and mind blowing reading experience from beginning to end. The characters are so lively that you can get easily lost with them through the lanes of Bristol. An unforgettable journey with little Harry Clifton to his mysterious course of life!
