Only The Time Will Tell

Only The Time Will Tell is the first volume of the Jeffry Archers' ambitious new series Clifton Chronicles. Story's protagonist is Herry Clifton who was told that his father was died in war but he never accepted it. 

Herry Clifton was very intelligent boy and was interested in working in dock. After that his voice became his ticket for new possibilities in life. And he got scholarship in prestigious school in Bristol. Herry's mother Masie Clifton scarify her life to bring up his son for better education. She worked in Tilly's restaurant then Royal hotel, than her own restaurant and became bar girl to support Herry's education fees.

The character that I liked most is old Jeck Tar who was living in discarded railway carriage.  He is very wise man who played main role in shaping Herry's life. The most important incident I like is When Herry run out from school due to teasing about his father being a dock worker by his prefect it was Jeck who gave him courage to fight to his fear and do not run like a coward. 

In his first day of school he found a friend Giles Barrington who becomes his best friend for lifetime. Story takes twist when Masie found that Giles might not just best friend but might be his half brother. Due to this fact Giles father Hugo Barrington hates Herry. Hugo tries very hard to separate Herry and Giles from each other but as no one can defeat what omnipotent God has written both of them remains together and worst happens when Herry falls in love with Giles sister and Hugo's daughter Emma Barington. Who did not know Emma might be his half sister. Only thing I do not like in this book was this affair but this is the only connection on which second volume becomes interesting.

After these all the worst fear of  Masie and Hugo came true on the day of marriage of Heyy and Emma. And the marriage was stopped at that time. During that time Germany declared war against England and Herry went to get training in ship to fight against enemy. That ship was broken by Germans.

I found story fascinating. I just have read only 3 books of Jeffry archer and I can say that this is the best of 3. Story has so many twists that you can complete it in max two sits if you try.  I completed this book in two days. And eager to read second volume of this series The Sins of Father. I will give this book 8/10. Read it if you have not read it I bet you will not re grate it.  

Book review for losing my virginity By Sir Richard Brandson

 
If your ideology is to live a secured life, getting university degrees in the dream of lucrative jobs, avoiding any kind of risks with the fear of failures, then I recommend you to keep away from this book. In case you read this, it’s highly probable that you will bite your shoe to take a stark curve of your current ideology.

“Losing my Virginity” is a welcome door to the world of Branson, who decorated his life with fun, adventure, risk, philanthropy, entrepreneurship and most importantly Love. From being ridiculed as dyslexic in his childhood to be called as a Business Tycoon, this auto-biography takes the reader in the voyage of one of the adorable lifes' on the planet.

He has spent almost his entire life in making new ventures, thus providing more jobs. Instead of following some dry business strategies and statistics, he followed his intuition. If some idea feels good to the heart, he undertakes it even if it could cost his life. For example, he traveled round the world in Hot Air Balloons in breaking records though he was aware that almost everyone who tried this ended in death. 

Unlike typical entrepreneurs, Richard balanced his business and relations both alike. As a philanthropist, he, with one of his influences, Nelson Mandela, shrived to curb thousands of deaths due to preventable diseases like HIV, Malaria etc; in Africa. He orchestrated a group called “Elders”, with world renowned luminaries, to prevent wars and to raise human awareness.

I enjoyed every page of the book with the un-diminishing rigor of enthusiasm and I recommend everyone (although with an exception as in the first line) to read this book to feel the real breeze of life's beauty.




I read this book few days before. I must say that this was not biography but adventures from life of Sir. Rechard Brandson. He is one of the few people on this earth who lives his life fully. I would like to tell you story's quick introduction.  

Not much narrated about his childhood. But most important incident I like is how he learned to swim in his summer vacation to win the bet with his aunt. I always liked to challenge himself and expanded his limits. He started the student magazine while he was 16 year old. From Student magazine his amazing life starts.

I was always engaged with his activity to keep  his magazine alive. Always persuaded prominent personalities of that time for taking their. Bur running this magazine he started selling of music records at lower price and established his mailorder record company. But  as always there is a crisis in every business suddenly post office government offices went on strike and Brandson caught in problem. They were not able to sell their records as they. In this difficult situation he saw the opportunity and started his first music record shop. As they were completely new to this business they kept its name as "VIRGIN".


Than from this record company he thought instead of being just seller of the records, which was running good, Virgin should produce the records. Then they started producing music records company. He fell in love with Kristen Tomassi. They got married.




note : currently i am preparing this story in short form. That might be useful for you to have brief look of this. I must say you should read this book if you do  not like mediocre.
