Customer Reviews of The Key to Rebecca

Weak replay of 'Needle'
Too much I didn't understand in this novel. Why didn't Vandam just order the houseboat destroyed while Wolff was in it? Why didn't he plant false information for Wolff to send to the German forces? Vandam should have been taken off the case as soon as he blew the snatch at the restaurant and fell in love with Elena. Come on, the fate of the Allies lies in some incompetent detective's hands!! <
>Another Follett tale ruined by his infatuation with women and graphic sex scenes. <
>The Good: Triple, Jackdaws, Eye of the Needle <
>The Bad: On Wings of Eagles <
>The Ugly: Lie Down with Lions, Key to Rebecca

BORING
I decided to get this book , based on some of the other reviews. But couldn't finish it. Just plain boring. I have read much better works of Ken follet.

Great Spy Tale..... Weak Close
For the first 250 pages, I thought that Follet had matched his earlier spy masterpiece, "Eye of the Needle." The tale was well crafted, the atmosphere of wartime Cairo was well described and the strained relations between the Arabs and the occupying British were explored in reasonable depth. <
> <
>Unfortunately, the final hundred pages were a let down. It was almost as if Follet asked a junior writer to come in and mop up. The pace became hurried, and the dialogue became stilted. Even John Grisham closes his novels better than this. <
> <
>Despite the sloppy close, however, this was still a very enjoyable novel.
