Title: Wretched Novel
Review: One wonders whether Le Carre was going through some sort of personal crisis when he wrote this one. It's not just that it's preachy and pedantic, but that the plot contains the sort of crude bumbling one finds in the worst of Restoration comedies, including, of all things, deus ex machina, and old scratch himself. In addition, Mr Le Carre seems to have decided not to seek expert advice before writing about computers and the pharmaceutical industry. Had he done so, he might not have had his protagonist, Justin, guess the password to his wife's computer, and might have chosen hepatotoxicity--the leading cause for drug failures--rather than CNS inflammation, a rare effect for an antimicrobial, as the principal side effect of Dypraxa. These errors, and a host of others, suggest that Le Carre was in over his head on this one. His choice of it to be among his best is inexplicable.
