Title: A satisfying read
Review: I first saw the movie version of this on TV many years ago. I was recently looking for something to read on a long flight and came across the Kindle version of this book. Good choice. Follett's prose is economical and easy to read yet full of detail. I knew the story but still enjoyed the development of the plot line.The characters are well developed and Die Nadel is not simply portrayed as a one dimensional baddie but Follett gives him some humanity. His brief fling with the heroine, Lucy, nearly proves his undoing. When Lucy uncovers the truth about her lover, she too faces a difficult choice. In the end, both Lucy and Die Nadel do what they have to do.A satisfying read and a story that can be easily re-read.
