I thought the character development and plot were shallow and blocky. Then it turns out it is a heavily abridged version, although it is not obviously marked as such on the Audible website. I'm displeased with Audible, not the book.

I typically have little time for thrillers. Most are trite, transparent, banal.

"Eye of the Needle" is none of those. Rarely have I been so engaged with a work of popular fiction. The book is, by turns, intriguing, thrilling, exciting, and even touching. Faber, the spy, is no cartoon Nazi, but is instead a complex, contradictory figure. Somewhat embarrassingly, one occasionally finds oneself rooting for him. And the, in the end, rooting for him to die.

Best of all is the unexpected hero. I won't write any spoilers here, but I actually got a lump in my throat when the book came to a close.

The narrator is among the best I have heard. His pacing and tone are ideal.

Call me very pleasantly surprised. No wonder it is a classic of the genre.
