A Prisoner Of Birth - A Must Read!

It took me just around 20 hours to complete this amazing 530 page book and i must say being a slow reader (I usually take 2 weeks to finish off a 600 page book) I'm totally impressed. The last time i read a book this fast was "Angels & Demons" by the adroit Dan Brown. I'm someone who seldom reads books that don't involve an element of fantasy, ironically i have not yet finished the third book of the Inheritance trilogy (Eragon Series - which i had pre-ordered :| ) and I'm done with this totally realistic pacy page turner.


************** Spoiler Alert! ****************

The books starts off with a marriage proposal going horribly wrong as the main protagonist Danny Cartwright is accused of murder of his closest buddy who is also his fiancee's brother in a bar brawl gone bad. When the four prosecution witnesses are a barrister, an actor, an aristocrat and the youngest partner in an established firm's history, who is going to believe your side of the story?

A life sentence (22 years) is what Danny got even after the valiant efforts of his Lawyer. And while the life in prison seemed to move slower than the outside world it also changed his life very quickly. With the help of his two allys inside the cage, Danny breaks out and seeks retribution.

The lengthy court trials, multiple sides to the same story and the rich characters is what glues your hand to this masterpiece. Finally the ending which made me go exactly like this :O :O !!!!
