I read this good fiction book, here in Brazil.This book uses real facts , during World War II, as its source.The operation wanted to decieve nazi Germany, during the months before and some months after D Day landings, in 1944.This book really is a good fiction, but today , I don't like to read fiction.When I read this book, more than twenty years ago, I liked it.Because of the fact that I enjoyed this book, I must give four stars for it.

Mama bear v spy.
In this case, not a story I bought into, as a mother and child get in the way of an enemy agent's plans, and must fight to survive.
There's also a movie, which in this case I actually thought was better, something that is pretty rare.
This is passable enough, but that is about it.

 This Needle is Very Sharp February 16, 2008
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
After recently finishing, and greatly enjoying, Ken Follett's The Pillars of the Earth (Deluxe Edition) (Oprah's Book Club), I was determined to finally read Eye of The Needle. This book has been on my list of must reads for over 5 years. Thank goodness I finally read the book. The Eye of the Needle is a thoroughly enjoyable read with great characters; especially uber-villain Dae Nadel.
Essentially, this book surrounds true events leading to the Allies invasion of Normandy in World War II. There are meetings with Churchill and Hitler and their top advisors in this book. Follett does and excellent job of taking the reader to Great Britain during the time of the Blackouts. Many sub-plots abound in this excellent read. The Eye of the Needle has received much critical acclaim over the years. In my opinion, the acclaim is well-deserved. A highly recommended 5-star read.
If You Had To Pick Only One Follett Novel January 19, 2008

This is the one to read. Follett made his mark with this novel and it is a taut and well written "what if" story centered around WWII.
It has it all, cold-blooded killers, military secrets which can change the course of the war.
A page turner from start to finish and I have read it a few times over the years. The movie with Donald Sutherland is also a very worthwhile one to watch if you get the chance to. It is very well done and ranks up there as one of the better ones in the genre.

Eye of The Needle
This is the third time that I have read this book and it is still a heart thumper. I enjoy historical novels and since my father was in England during this time, I found it to be very authentic.
