2.0 out of 5 stars The Swingin' 70;s, December 22, 1999
By 
Rob C. (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Big Needle (Mass Market Paperback)
This work isn't exactly trash, it's a very 1970's morality story with an unlike, almost anti-hero behaving very much like a Swinging London jet-setter. It follows the 70's fashion/sexuaity formula with Mr. Follet's usual characters. Very similar to "The Executioner," By Don Pendleton, the book that defined the action/adventure genre, this book is more a reflection of the era than a bad work of fiction. While it deserve no awards, it isn't trash either.

2.0 out of 5 stars Follett was still learning how to write., March 19, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Big Needle (Mass Market Paperback)
This is evidently one of the first books ever written by Follett. The plot is banal, the characters are built very superficially. It's worth reading only if you are a young writer in need of encouragement - it shows a youthful, unsuccessful effort by an author who grew later on to be a really good writer.

However, if you read it expecting the high quality of other books by Follett, you will be frustrated.

4.0 out of 5 stars An exciting thriller, July 28, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Big Needle (Mass Market Paperback)
This was the first book I had read by Ken Follett, but since I have also read the Modigliani Scandal. He keeps the reader so interested with the action, fast turns and dramatics that it is hard to put the book down when you get tired. I enjoyed this book very much and I hope to get an opportunity to read more of this talented authors' work in the future.
