Summary: Triple Decker Excitement
Review: A great book. I think even a little better than Eye of the Needle but that may because the movie version of 'Eye' was really bad. I enjoyed this book and I thought the action was great. One of my all time favourites.

Summary: Great read
Review: I loved it! A completely implausible story that Follett somehow makes believable. Many times I wondered "How is he going to pull this off?" and then he does it. It was one of his best.

Summary: Follett post 9/11
Review: I read this book looking for some post 9/11 escapism focused on the middle east. This is a fast moving action story that maintains its pace through all 340 pages. Follett has created an unforgettable character in Nat Dickstein, who in many ways is a metaphor for Israel herself. He has found a way to leave his hatred behind, yet methodically pursues his aims by any means necessary, looking hopefully towards a peaceful future.
In my view this is as good as "Eye of the Needle", and maybe better than "Pillars of the Earth" which I thought was overlong. Follett shows us the Israelis, Egyptians and Russians all in a bright light, where it is the ends, and not the means, that counts.

Summary: Best in His Class
Review: I think this is the period of time when Ken Follett was probably at the top of his game. This book comes close to The Pillars of the Earth. This is a great story, similar to The Sum of All Fears just 15 years earlier and better action. Follett has always been great at developing his characters and he does it again with this book. And he always gets the facts correct; he must spend a good deal of time researching the topics. This book moves very fast and has a number of twists, there is real suspense built up through out the book. This book is one of the best of the class.

Summary: the ending makes the book worthit
Review: I'm usually not big into spy novels...but I'm a big fan of follett so I gave this book a try. At some times I found it a little hard to follow. There's several names and factions from different countries going back and forth. But the ending is as good as any slam bang ending from a spy/action novel as you'll get. Great action once again. Follett has a talent for weaving fictional characters and stories around real life events and places. This book is no exception. While not my favorite of Follett's various works, this is definetly a solid read that's worth a look.

Review: If you really want to read a book of action, love and spies, this is the book you have to read, from the first page to the last, you will be interested in the story of all the persons involved, including the 5 years old child.
