His weapon is the stiletto, his codename: The Needle. He is Henry Faber, a coldly professional killer and Germany’s most feared deep-cover agent in Britain. His task: to discover the Allies’ plans for D-Day, and get them to Germany at all costs. It’s a task he undertakes with customary relish and ruthlessness — until he encounters Storm Island, and a woman called Lucy…
Eye of the Needle
By kenfollett
First Follett I ever read… I was hooked.
Great book!
Read it years ago, a fantastic thriller. Loved it!
Follett is unmatched at developing characters.
Read a long time ago. Still one of the best
Follet creates great characters and really keeps you guessing in Eye of the Needle. A great read and hard to put down!
Well written thriller
It’s one of the best books I’ve ever read!
One of those books that entertains and informs and gives insight all at the same time .
I read this years ago and still think it is one of the best suspense novels I’ve ever read. Unforgettable.
true to Follett! gripping, he is a great story teller always keeps my attention.
Ken Follet’s WWII stories are not to be missed.
Read it twice and watched the movie. Well written and researched. Suspenseful from page one.
Not your usual “who done it.”
Great writer, good story.
A real page turner! Great historical novel. Will keep you reading late into the night!
I loved reading this book. I rad it many years ago and I like to come back to read it because the story is that good. Of course I will admit i forget some details or I catch a new idea. I think the characters are believable and easy to like/hate. I love that about this book.
I think this was the first of Follett’s books I have read and I also saw the movie which I don’t think is available anymore. It was very descriptive of the conditions of the war and his writing held you to every page of intrigue. It was a wonderful introduction to his style of writing. I would probably enjoy reading it again.
It was a favorite book of mine back in college, so reread it again recently. It is still a good book, but the ending was a little too tidy and wrapped up in a bow for me now. Still, I thoroughly got back into the book and enjoyed the intrigue and back and forth again!
Wonderful book, it was published a long time ago but has stood up to time. Mr.Follett will not disappoint you.
