Title: Poor Imitation of Graham Greene
Review: Mr. Le Carre's last few books have been so bad that he has attempted, and failed, to emulate the successful novels of Graham Greene (Brighton Rock, The Power and The Glory). Perhaps he thought that there were few readers around who know the writing of Mr. Greene. I am still aorund and Mr. Le Carre is no threat to the past successes of Graham Greene. This book is; pathetically slow in plot development; lacks any sense of coninuity; has very shallow character development, and is quite frankly boring. Giving it a one star rating is one star too many. Mr Le Carre should have retired after authoring "The Spy Who CAme in from the Cold", he has made no progress since that novel.
