Chronicle In Pursuance Of Books Lie Down with Lions

I was expecting to enjoy this book a lot more! After all, this novel has been written by Ken Follett – the author of my favorite The Eye of the Needle. Unfortunately, I found the book to be pretty mediocre. Anyway, the story revolves around the love triangle involving Jane, a spirited English woman; Ellis, an American spy; and Jean-Pierre, a French doctor-cum-Communist spy. The narrative starts in Paris where Ellis would bust a terrorist cell, and then move to Soviet occupied Afghanistan. Jean-Pierre would be spying on behalf of the Russians and obviously Ellis would turn up to broker a deal with the Afghan resistance on behalf of Uncle Sam. There is some action and suspense. But, the story is full of plot holes. A lot of things didn’t make sense and Jane’s behavior did not fit with her nature. The narrative dragged quite a few times and the end was pretty abrupt. The book did not feel like it was by the author who had written quite a few engrossing war/espionage thrillers. In my humble opinion, this book is not worth your time. There are plenty of good war/espionage thrillers out there. I would rather recommend Ken Follett’s Eye of the Needle(features in Mystery Writers of America Top 100), The Key to Rebecca (Crime Writers' Association Top 100) and Jackdaws.

Comment On Appertaining To Books Lie Down with Lions

I read this book years and years ago--at least 20--but its dramatic effect on me still lingers after all this time. I want to re-read it, as I do so many of the books I have read (and since forgotten the details of) in the past. I find myself looking for it in every bookstore I visit, only to be disappointed that I cannot find a larger-sized paperback copy or a hardback copy of this book. I want to buy it and keep it and remind myself to re-read it, but I don't keep or collect trade paperbacks.

3 1/2 stars: spoilers included in review.I read this book in German, as I'm trying to keep up with my German language skills. That was the main reason for this reading choice, also that the city library in my area had this edition, so it was also fairly handy. Before starting it, I had read some negative reviewswhich may have prejudiced my opinion. I knew going in that this is one of Follett's less popular books. The first part of the book was fine, but it was upon arrival of Ellis in

Great action and twists and turns. Early Follett book that describes the military support the Americans gave the rebels (aka Osama) to defeat the Russian invasion of Afghanistan. Knowing how the future unfolded in light of this support made the book that much more interesting.



Follett is like the little girl who, when she was good, was very, very good but when she was bad, she was horrid." Not that this book was totally horrid, just very formulaic, predictable and ended with an unbelievable stunt.The story takes place soon after the Russian invasion of Afghanistan. The protagonist, Ellis Thaler works for the CIA. Working undercover in Paris, he falls in love with a radical Englishwoman, Jane Lambert, whom he is using to identify terrorists. When Jane finds out she

This is a real page-turner. I read it in hardcover with over 300 pages and it took me less than a week which is much quicker than usual for me. It is a great read for those that like historical novels placed in the middle east. However, this is much more story than historical information.There were two explicit scenes that could have been left out and did not add to the story which is why I didn't give it a five star rating.
