Breath holding narrative
One of the best novel I have read. At the end of some chapters we get so much engrossed in the book. Only when some feeling that we are reading a book brings us out of engrossment. Author has succeeded in holding reader's breath.

Brilliant; Enthralling !
Ke Follet's inimitable style of writing is highly engrossing. A simple story with Follet's formidable writing skill is an edge of the seat thriller. Very difficult to put it down. A must read.

The Key to Rebecca by Ken Follet - A Superb Novel
The screenshot of the novel is World War-II, battle between Allied Force and Axis Force in Africa. Romel, head of axis force, was getting vigorously ahead based on the secret informations of british army, supplied by one German spy code named Sphinx. This spy is crude, shrewd, and determinant to win his goal by hook ot crook. British army intelligence office Major Vandam, posted in Cairo, is continuously seraching for his trail but no use. The spy is transmitting all secret informations through his own radio system, language coded on the book "Rebecca". But how he is getting all these top secret war-planning informations? Is there any leak in british army, or, it is the result of the brilliant planning by Sphinx? Major Vandam only knows the future of the battle is depending to spot & stop the spy, along with the radio as well as the "Rebecca".Ultimately what happened when Axis force is about to enter into Cairo? Yes, the novel has given me the answer. A fantastic thriller on Military Intelligence pictured on the canvas of Egypt during world war II.

Its average
Not do good not so bad. Boring at the start and in between sometimes but much interesting in the end.

Not extraordinary but good enough
Not as tight as the eye of the needle ... but definitely a good read for thriller enthusiasts ... 4/5

Terrific Page Turner
What a gripping read it was. Terrific page turner that makes it difficult to put down. Makes me dig deep into how Cairo used to look like in 1940s. Very interesting read.

Good reading
In the later part of the book monologues by the characters are very lengthy and unnecessary. When Wolffe is travelling in train with the child and lady.
