Found this book abandoned in my seat pocket during a flight. Solid book, but definitely meant for women. The whole thing about the main character is that she’s really pretty but also very capable of doing her job and being an independent woman. There were some sexy time scenes that felt weird to read in public. PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: DO NOT READ IN PUBLIC. Especially if you’re a dude. I made the mistake of reading this on a bus and the only thing I was thinking was ‘please dear God nobody glance over and see what I’m reading’. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t pop a half stubby during the intimate scenes. The bus had a bathroom and I had to excuse myself multiple times on the bus journey to take care of it. Just playing, I’m not that disgusting.
However, I did have several instances of having to tuck my boner into my wasteband in public due to the contents of this book. You’re probably thinking that this guy is a weirdo because you are most likely a woman if you’re reading a review about this book, but trust me, this happens more than you think.
I’m not sure if all women read books like this, or if all women books feature this sort of content, but if so, you ladies make me sick. I’m giving myself a pass because I had no idea that this book would be of such nature. But like I said, I picked this up on a plane. Was the woman who left it planning on revving up her lady parts surrounded by a bunch of strangers on a plane? How often does this happen!? Imagine if I pulled out porn in the library. There would be an absolute fit thrown and I’d be plastered all over Instagram as creep of the month. Unbeknownst to me, the same ladies who would ridicule this behavior would turn their noses back into their books and read smut scenes like the ones featured in this book.
There were a ton of characters that at times were hard to keep track of and some weren’t super well developed. Although the book was exciting and fun to read, I won’t recommend this to friends as I felt feminine reading the book and I don’t want people to make assumptions about me. However, this was a solid book and I enjoyed it quite a bit.

I love reading Follett's books. This is a nice cat and mouse game. You know you are going to get a villain with some heart, some humor, character development and a satisfying conclusion.

A group of female British secret agents are sent to France to act as spies, and to thwart the ability of the Nazis in France to obtain and transmit information on the planned "D-Day" invasion. Based on a true story! A good read.

Truly one of the best WWII thriller you will ever read!

Une grosse déception que ce roman de Follett. À l'aube du débarquement en Normandie, on réunit en catastrophe six femmes au pedigree disparate pour aller faire sauter un centre nerveux de télécommunication nazi à Reims. Voilà, un scénario clair et précis. Cependant, au-delà du récit en tant que tel, Follet (ou ces ghost writers) néglige totalement de développer la psychologie des personnages qui en deviennent drabes et sans reliefs. Le mauvais nazi devine tout, ne rate jamais ces hypothèses basées sur pas grand chose et arrive à peine à se faire haïr par le lecteur tellement maigre est son profil humain. Au delà de l'histoire, Le Réseau Corneille n'a pas de densité littéraire et semble avoir été écrit par un programme informatique. Raté.

Excellent roman d'espionnage.

You can always rely on Ken Follet for a good story.

Excellent book!

3.5 ⭐️ not a genre I would usually read but quite enjoyed this book

I was disgusted by this book and thought perhaps Follett had lost his mind.

Another inspiring narrative, Jackdaws by Ken Follett, places him firmly where he belongs; at the top of the literary mountain. This is a story of war, love and espionage. These elements can’t miss when stirred and served by Follett. Felicity (Flick) Clairet is a physically small woman but with the heart of a lion. She leads a group of French partisans on an unsuccessful raid in occupied France. Smarting from her failure she vows to try it again. I was surprisingly impressed with the concept of an all female operation. In the hands of Ken Follett I was sure it would be a great read; I wasn’t disappointed! It is a great story by a great writer.

Um dos melhores livros de Ken Follet. Foi quase impossível parar de ler.
