Summary: Worth any reader's time
Comment: Ken Follett's triple is memorable to me because it is one of the first adult oriented novels I read. The story is about secret agent Nat Dickstein who has the impossible mission of stealing 200 tons of uranium, without anyone else knowing about the theft. As with many of his novels, Follett make the reader believe the impossible. There were a few times when I thought Follett pushed the limits of believability, but there were no blatant attempts to insult the reader.
The best thing about this novel is the pacing. I found it impossible to find a place to put the novel down; every page is exciting. This is not unusual for a Follett novel however, as most people will finish one of his books in week.
The only problem I had with this novel deals with the main romance of the story. The two characters go from being almost complete strangers, to waking up in the same bed in only a few pages. I realize that this is a spy novel and not a romance novel, but it would have been possible for Follett to spread it out a little bit more.
Even with the few believability issues, this is still one of the better spy-novels out there. Anyone looking for a good read should pick this book up.

Summary: Couldn't put it down
Comment: Ken Follett is one of the best "bestseller" authors around. And he's versatile--check out Pillars of the Earth, which couldn't be more different than this book, Triple.
Triple centers on Nat Dickstein, who is working for the Israelis with the seemingly impossible task of stealing a sizable amount of uranium. Dickstein's exceedingly clever plan keeps you turning the pages, as do the counter-efforts of the Russians and Arab agents who want to derail his plan. The main characters are well-developed and multi-sided--and the "bad guys" are not just cookie-cutter heavies--they have their sympathetic side as well. Which, I think, is what kept me from putting the book down until I finished it. Great reading for a vacation, trip or just relaxation.

Summary: Espionage and romance, Follett style
Comment: Ken Follett once again writes an incredibly compelling novel. "Triple" begins at protagonist Nat Dickstein's release from the concentration camps, and goes ahead to 1968. Of three groups - Dickstein representing Israel, as well as spies from the KGB and Egypt - who will ultimately wind up with the uranium to build a nuclear weapon?
The way Follett recreates history, the book COULD be true. He does a marvelous job, even when the point of view goes from one spy to another. This is NOT a "light read" but it's intriguing... captivating... and worth your time.
