    <body><![CDATA[This is a real page-turner.  I read it in hardcover with over 300 pages and it took me less than a week which is much quicker than usual for me.  It is a great read for those that like historical novels placed in the middle east. However, this is much more story than historical information.<br/>The...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/14946939">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[As a fiction novel, I don't know how much stock to hold in the cultural implications of the book, but it was a thrilling read. I was taken aback a bit by the graphic details given in the sexual encounters but I guess that is to be expected in books like this. Great character development and it kept ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/9660501">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I would give the book 3 1/2 stars. It's a good story, but I'm not entirely sure I like his writing style.<br/><br/>The book is a love triangle between Ellis (American CIA), Jane and Jean-Pierre (KGB spy).  Jane throws Ellis over hating that fact he's a spy only to marry Jean-Pierre not knowing he'...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/43503059">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[One of my all time favorite books. I have always liked Ken Follet's vivid style of writing.   This is  an exciting spy thriller. I know it's very &quot;cliche&quot; but it is a page turner that is really hard to put down especially the ending.  ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Generally I don't care for books about war and espionage, but this one definitely held my interest due to the human story within the foreign locales.  I found myself rooting for Jane!  Read Eye of the Needle many years ago and loved it.
