Decent Book
Rating  (3)

This book was a decent book but i felt that how almost all the characters in the book knew each other was a little to coincidental.
Also some parts of the books seemed rushed as if he was saving pages. I guess this could also be taken for fast moving depending on how you want to look at it.
For a real good fast paced exciting book i would look to Vince Flynn and his reocurring character Mitch Rapp.

Triple is not nearly enough...

Thin plot, thinly developed characters, not the author's best. The Pillars of the Earth, Eye of the Needle, and Dangerous Fortune stand out as by far his best. Triple is interesting, but not nearly the suspense, drama or richly developed characters of Follett's best... not worth a read in my opinion.

I bought this book for a recent plane trip, and it was perfect read.
While there are some shortcomings in what or how certain things can happen, a short suspension of belief of what is "real" in this type of book is something I am willing to give and do not let it get in the way of having a "fun read"

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.

This has got to be the worst book Ken Follett ever wrote. The story is ridiculous. Would the KGB, at the height of the cold war, really let some English woman on one of their prized spy ships, give her free reign to move around, and relate to her all the details of their top secret sources and methods? Please. And of course a flight attendant has the skills to outwit a ship full of hardened KGB agents, and figure out how to destroy the ship, all in a few hours. Hello! And by the way, Ken, diesel fuel cannot be ignited by a cigarette. The style was completely naive and painful to read as well. Endless exposition outside of the action, a rough draft of a book at best. If you like spy novels, read "The spy who came in from the cold." That's how spy novels should be written. People giving 5 stars for this tripe? Can you say "shill"?
