Kane and Abel - Gold versus Steel  

Have you ever read this book? This is my all-time favorite as it's author Jeffrey Archer has been my all-time favorite author. I made the book my favorite after reading the first two sentences of the first chapter. Yes, it's that good.

The story revolves on two men born worlds and poles apart with nil in common except for their birth date - April 15, 1906 and their sheer determination to succeed in life. It has been a battle between gold and steel with Kane and Abel; the former so blindingly wealthy and influential, the latter so underprivileged and powerless. When they meet, principles and beliefs crashes like war.

I'm telling you, you won't be sorry that you've read the book, there's so much to learn in this book, about history, business, education, sports, banking, parenting, emotions - love, hate, fear, anger, and life itself. You'll find yourself laughing, crying and celebrating with the characters.
