The Eye of the Needle

• The Eye of the Needle - Ken Follett

I enjoyed this book a lot. Once again, I loved Follett's characters. Lucy is such as strong woman. Not necessarily intentionally, but her circumstances force her to rise to the occassion. The climax of the book is a lot more brutal than most of Follett's books. I really don't want to give it away, but the basic plot is that the British are chasing a German spy (die Nadel) that may have (or not) discovered British secrets pertaining to the planning of D-Day. They have to catch him before he contacts Germany.

"They were outside a shop that had a huge empty space where once there had been a plate-glass window. A rough sign, hand-painted and nailed to the window-frame, said, 'Even more open than usual.'

Bloggs laughted. ' I saw one outside a bombed police station: 'Be good, we are still open.'" - 90
