[edit] Captured?
The Braon is "captivated"? - or is he captured? Some-one who has read the book should check this. The article could also use some cleaning up (e.g., bringing in consistentcy in tense).
- I've marked it for cleanup. Mostly the synopsis just needs its style polished, but there are a couple of obscure points and it should ideally be done by someone who has read the book. CalJW 07:52, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] the personalities involved

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Kaneandabel.gif
Image:Kaneandabel.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Repetition
In "Plot summary", a particular episode about one of the characters saving the other in the Second World War is oddly repeated (the book sounds so dull I have forgotten which character):
"Abel changes the name of the hotel from Richmond to Baron and builds up a successful hotel chain. By joining hands with Henry Osborne, who had by now entered politics, Abel plans to ruin Kane and his bank. Abel begets a daughter, named Florentyna in memory of his dead sister while Kane has a son, Richard. Abel during World War II would save Kane's life in France. He also divorces Zaphia when he returns home from the war. Meanwhile Kane's bank and Lester's bank merge and a provision is made that anyone who has a share of 8% can summon board meetings. Abel tries desperately to obtain 8% of the bank's stock but Kane manages to thwart his attempts. They unknowingly meet each other many times throughout the novel. On one instance, whilst Kane and Abel are fighting in World War II, Abel saves Kane's life. "
Right. Abel saves Kane. Now I know. Twice... Whoever boldly took on such an article perhaps needs to tidy it up.
Incidentally, who wrote this above? > "the book is reaaly good it should be read i have not yet seen the video but reading the book i am sure it will be good. the book is very sophisticated and whoever reads it will benefit from it"
?? Anyway, they sure come across like the perfect Jeffrey Archer reader. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.158.234.155 (talk) 22:48, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
