Title: Eye of the Needle Pdf A Novel
The worldwide phenomenon from the bestselling author of The Pillars of the Earth, World Without End, and A Column of Fire
His code name was “The Needle.” He was a German aristocrat of extraordinary intelligence—a master spy with a legacy of violence in his blood, and the object of the most desperate manhunt in history. . . .
But his fate lay in the hands of a young and vulnerable English woman, whose loyalty, if swayed, would assure his freedom—and win the war for the Nazis. . . .
Not Your Ordinary War Novel How did I ever miss this?? I've read Pillars of the Earth and some others by Follet. Pillars was terrific, but very long. Eye of the Needle was simply fantastic. Planning for D-Day so the German leaders think it will not be at Normandy... A spy novel unlike any other I have ever read. I was glued to it for three days and couldn't stand putting it down to do normal life things. The last 15% was suspense like few books I have ever read. Some of the (real) history I never knew...the fictionalized story was magnificent writing. I did stop and look some things up, especially during the first 20% or so. By the 60% mark or thereabouts, I was reading at a breakneck pace. I knew Follett was talented but this was amazing. If you like stories set in World War II, spy stories, war stories, or anything with terrific characters that the reader really cares about, you must read this. All my friends, put this on your "to read" list right now.Best WWII Spy Novel I think "The Brenner Assignment" (O'Donnell) is the only World War II spy story that can hold a candle to this superiorly written novel. 'Brenner' is a true story, however, so it is a must-read for WWII spy enthusiasts for different reasons. "Eye of the Needle" is captivating and realistic fiction: I don't know much about mid-century London, but felt I was living in it reading 'Eye".Nothing not to love! I will note, however, that there's a load of foreshadowing here, so if you find yourself wondering why, for example [SPOILER] so much detail is given to the AC-as-opposed-to-DC generator in the cottage (p.48), then you aren't the only one who knows this'll come back 'round! (Follett did get the AC/DC mixed up, BTW, as others have noted.) Don't miss!
