Descriptions du produit

From AudioFile

Nazi forces dominate Europe, and the Allies in England are using an elaborate subterfuge to convince Germany of a massive invasion, purposely creating confusion as to its location. A German operative named Die Nadel, The Needle, calculating and ruthless, is entrusted by Hitler himself to find out the truth. Fans of old-time radio drama will particularly enjoy this full-cast version. Narrator Eric Lincoln proceeds smoothly, until the action starts cooking, and his urgency turns up the heat. The small ensemble creates a wide range of lead and supporting characters. There are flaws--actors occasionally sound as if theyre too far from the microphone, and there are both melodrama and stereotypes--but the storys compelling suspense hurtles listeners to the riveting conclusion.

(REAL NAME)   
This book is a good read but in my opinion isn't even close to ranking as high on my must read list as "Pillars of The Earth" and "World Without End".

EYE OF THE NEEDLE by Ken Follet

STORY: WWII rages throughout Europe. The infamous German spy, De Needle, attempts to stay one step ahead of the MI6 agents on his tail. It quickly becomes a race to stop the German spy from revealing the truth about the upcoming Allied invasion.

MY FEEDBACK:
1) CHARACTERS ¡V nice backgrounds and motivations given and the players in the story stay true to character. Characters are believable because we¡ve all known people like them¡Kwell maybe not like De Needle. º You cheer for the good guys and hate it when the bad guy succeeds, which is exactly what an author wants to accomplish in his writing. I appreciated that the ¡§good guys¡ were not made out to be complete idiots and actually had some great intuition in trying to capture the bad guy.

2) SETTING ¡V I¡ve never been to England but I¡ve seen plenty of movies that take place there. I think the author uses these preconceived ideas and already established visuals to help the reader know where the character is. Otherwise, when you look at it closely, I felt that he didn¡t spend a lot of time giving us environmental descriptions¡Ksome readers will find this a pleasing aspect while others may want more.

3) STORY ¡V For the longest time I couldn¡t figure out what the purpose of the ¡§sub-plot¡ of Lucy and David was all about and how it tied into the main storyline. But it was brought around nicely. Nice suspense and the last 50 pages are great wrap up.

4) MISC ¡V There is one love scene that is VERY descriptive and may be offensive to some readers...but luckily it is only one and doesn¡t carry on for too long. The book generated an overall bond with me that now I¡m off to watch the Donald Sutherland movie version of the book.

OVERALL ¡V Fast, easy read that brings suspense and concern for the well being of the characters. Worth getting!

5.0étoiles sur 5 A first rate World War II thriller! -Regards to Willi, Juil 1 2004
Par Michael Weiser (Los Angeles, CA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
It is the height of World War II and the balance of the war could be at stake. The Germans have pinned their hopes on their master spy, "the Needle".

This book proceeds at a brisk pace because the spy must avoid detection by ordinary Britons and escape the relentless efforts of British intelligence to track him down and stop him before he transmits critical information to Germany. These scenarios create the dramatic tension necessary to keep the story moving.

Besides the element of the chase, there is also a love component to this story. While on the run, "the Needle" falls in love with a desparately loney English woman on an isolated island off the English coast. Soon she discovers that the mysterious stranger she has fallen for is a ruthless German spy with a secret agenda. What happens from there is an exciting climax that the reader is certain to remember for years to come.

I also recommend the movie starring Donald Sutherland which goes by the same title as the book.
