The Key to Rebecca

Adoro o autor Ken Follet e este livro ficou além das expectativas

Ken Follet non delude mai, libro avvincente e mai noioso, che ti porta nell'Egitto della seconda guerra mondiale. Si legge in pochissimo tempo.

Loved this cat and mouse thriller set in Egypt during the War. The Nazis have a spy working in Egypt and a British intelligence agent who bucks the system is trying to find him. This is the second spy-type novel that I have read from Folliet - the first being one of his first’s Eye of the Needle. Loved them both and want to read more. Ironically, the “Rebecca” in the title of this novel is one of my all-time favorite books, “Rebecca” by Daphne Du Maurier. Bottom line - Folliet is a great writer so his books are already fun to read. The history and suspense is great but it’s the characters that keep you interested. They are multi-dimensional and unique. Plus, Mr Folliet always adds some, let’s say, well-written sex scenes. I would love to hear any of your favorites of his books that are also in this genre.

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.

A me piace leggere libri in inglese per migliorare il mio dizionario. Non commento se la lettura sia difficile o facile, perché è un dato soggettivo. Posso dire che la trama è avvincente e, soprattutto la seconda parte, si legge tutta in un fiato per "vedere come va a finire".
