Summary: Good combination of characters and story.
Review: Ken Follett has created an entertaining collection of characters is this spy thriller and added a hint of romance. The competition between spies involves a combination of Egyptian, Israeli, and Russians whose path crossed at Oxford!
I spent time doing the audio (unabridged edition) and enjoyed most of it. However the accent of Dickstein sounded more Australian to me and parts literally put me to sleep!
Overall it was engaging. Not at the top of my list but definately worth reading it you like spy stories with great characters.

Summary: Couldn't put it down
Review: Ken Follett is one of the best "bestseller" authors around. And he's versatile--check out Pillars of the Earth, which couldn't be more different than this book, Triple.Triple centers on Nat Dickstein, who is working for the Israelis with the seemingly impossible task of stealing a sizable amount of uranium. Dickstein's exceedingly clever plan keeps you turning the pages, as do the counter-efforts of the Russians and Arab agents who want to derail his plan. The main characters are well-developed and multi-sided--and the "bad guys" are not just cookie-cutter heavies--they have their sympathetic side as well. Which, I think, is what kept me from putting the book down until I finished it. Great reading for a vacation, trip or just relaxation.

Summary: Espionage and romance, Follett style
Review: Ken Follett once again writes an incredibly compelling novel. "Triple" begins at protagonist Nat Dickstein's release from the concentration camps, and goes ahead to 1968. Of three groups - Dickstein representing Israel, as well as spies from the KGB and Egypt - who will ultimately wind up with the uranium to build a nuclear weapon? The way Follett recreates history, the book COULD be true. He does a marvelous job, even when the point of view goes from one spy to another. This is NOT a "light read" but it's intriguing... captivating... and worth your time.

Summary: Worth any reader's time
Review: Ken Follett's triple is memorable to me because it is one of the first adult oriented novels I read. The story is about secret agent Nat Dickstein who has the impossible mission of stealing 200 tons of uranium, without anyone else knowing about the theft. As with many of his novels, Follett make the reader believe the impossible. There were a few times when I thought Follett pushed the limits of believability, but there were no blatant attempts to insult the reader. The best thing about this novel is the pacing. I found it impossible to find a place to put the novel down; every page is exciting. This is not unusual for a Follett novel however, as most people will finish one of his books in week. The only problem I had with this novel deals with the main romance of the story. The two characters go from being almost complete strangers, to waking up in the same bed in only a few pages. I realize that this is a spy novel and not a romance novel, but it would have been possible for Follett to spread it out a little bit more. Even with the few believability issues, this is still one of the better spy-novels out there. Anyone looking for a good read should pick this book up.

Summary: A TRIPLE RACE FOR AN ATOMIC BOMB
Review: Making an atomic bomb is easy to do if you have a nuclear plant and the raw material (yellowcake) to make the uranium needed. Egypt has been successful in building the plant but now they need the yellowcake. Israel also has a plant and is in dire need of the same raw material.The Russians are backing the Arabs in this race so we have the agents from the Mossad, the KBG, and the Arabs and a double agent thrown in for an advantage to which nation? Ken Follett is a great writer of suspense and keeps you guessing thru the entire book as to who is going to steal and keep the stolen goods. Schoolmates from Oxford and one of their professors from ten years ago seek to favor one country over the other. We know the prof favors one country but who does his daughter favor? Who comes up with a reasonable way to transport thethousands of tons of yellowcake and who figures out a way to steal it from them? You won't want to put this book down until the end so plan on loosing some sleep. After you finish this book you may want to catch your breath before you start another of Follett's books, "Eye of the Needle" which is another suspensful spy story of WW II vintage. Both deserve more than a five star rating.

Summary: Great page-turning spy thriller
Review: One of Follett's first spy-thrillers - Triple - is a typical cat and mouse spy novel, which is characterized by many dynamic characters all of which play a big and even role in the plot. From all ends of the political and religious spectrum - Follett introduces various characters right in the beginning of the novel with an unlikely meeting of future foes. The story begins at Oxford University in London England, where a group of students participate in political discussions. What they don't know is that their political differences will some day become more than just political differences. Eventually they'll all be at different ends of the race for nuclear weapons in the mid-East. I enjoyed the novel profoundly. It was a very good weekend page-turner, and I would suggest it to anyone who admires Follett's work. The reason I'm giving it 4 stars is because I've read more recent work of his including the Key to Rebecca, the Pillars of the Earth, and A Dangerous Fortune - All three much deserving of 5 stars. Although a great novel, I still must limit Triple to 4 stars because it's not quite on the level of entertainment as those aforementioned. The writing style of Follett is unique and he produces great stories with awesome skill. If you have not read those three novels I've mentioned, please take time to read them. You'll be incredibly entertained if you were to read any of them - with my personal favorite being The Pillars of the Earth.

Summary: READ ME!
Review: Read the book. Not only because it is one of the best book Ken Follet wrote, but because you will learn more about clonning. It is absolutely thrilling and suspensful that you may find it hard to rest until you're done.
