1.0 out of 5 stars Are you kidding me?, Mar 16 2004
By J. Alexander (Los Angeles) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Triple (Paperback)
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"?

4.0 out of 5 stars Follet is constistently good, Mar 1 2004
By Bill Garrison (Oklahoma City, OK USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Triple (Paperback)
Triple is a spy novel set in the mid-60s when Israel is rushing to beat the Arabs in a race to build an atomic bomb. This book as all the action, suspense and romance you'd expect from Follet. His research is excellent and this book is very believable. As one of Follet's earlier novels, it definitely stands the test of time.

4.0 out of 5 stars the ending makes the book worthit, Dec 9 2003
By Matthew Schiariti (new jersey) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Triple (Paperback)
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.
