fantastic stuff - buy all three diaries - By: Mr. Richard Bristol, 17 Apr 2007 
Just like the other 2 diaries, this is a great book & gives a great insight into the prison system & the people that inhabit it.
Archer's writing is clear & easy to read, giving a clear picture of characters & situations 'inside'.
This is a classic.
Gripping Read - By: m tennant, 09 Feb 2006 Jeffery Archers prison diary series is a gripping insight in to life in prison a must read whether you are a fan of archer or note.
FAB - By: , 02 Dec 2005 Its the ultimate gripping book, the fact the Jeffery Archer makes the experience of prison so exciting proves his writing skills. V. easy reading, great book
A charmed life? - By: Ralph Blumenau, 13 Nov 2005 As compelling a read as Volume I. He is now in Category C Wayl
and prison, which, though still full of any number of restraints, is far more relaxed than Belmarsh. But to this reader it seems clear that the charmed (if uncomfortable) life Archer led in prison might have been less charmed had he not b
een so famous. On the other hand, his own basic charm & good nature (as theyappear in these diaries) probably also helped with both inmates & warders.(See also my reviews of Vols.I & III)
Purgatory - By: , 01 Jul 2004 The second installlment in Archers prison diary is as gripping as the first. his use of language & descriptive prose, as well as the excellent sketches produced by another of the inmates give you a sense of being in the cell with Archer during the bleak days he spends in Waylands.
The script is written to favour neither guards nor inmates, simply as is.
Most surprising is the respect he gets from the majority of the inmates in the prison, & how ready his friends are to "deal" with those that threaten him, if only he would point them out.
Once again, a very candid bio, pulling no punches, I look forward to reading the third.
