Title: garden intruder
Review: Having enjoyed every one of LeCarre's previous novels, I was left unprepared for the disappointment of this novel. In The Constant Gardener, Le Carre at last has found the courage to stand up for a cause. How satisfying for him personally, but how stultifying for his art. Characterization, usually one of LeCarre's strong suits, is particularly weak in this novel. The few characters who are not 2-dimensional paste-ups - the villain Lorbeer for instance - are more muddled than psychologically complex. The language is generally less rich than usual, replaced with a rather conventional attention to the details of a shallow plot. If you're new to LeCarre, bury this weed and make room for his fine perennials.
