Title: Gimme My Opium Pipe Baby!!!
Review: It appears to me that Mr. Greene repeats his Theme of The Use And Abuse Of Power in every one of his books. One could easily go so far as to say that he has been writing the same book for the past 30 years. The main protagonist in his book is an Opium Addicted Serial Monogamist named Fowler who has become jaded by his involvement in the Vietnam War and seeks solace in the Arms Of Morpheus or his Vietnamese girlfriend Phuong. Then he meets an idealistic young man named Pyle who decides he can make a difference to what is happening in their world. The rest of the book explores their relationship with each other and it comes as no surprise to the reader that Pyle falls in love with Phuong with the promise that he can give her a better life.I had to read this book in my Final Year at High School and I am totally bewildered by the fact that it is considered to be a so called "Modern Classic Of Literature.The jaded antics of an opium junkie holds no atraction for me to read .
