Title: Le Carré-like
Review: "The year of living dangerously" is the story of a group of foreign journalists (moslty one named Guy Hamilton) in the year of Sukarno's deposition in Indonesia. It is well written and the reader is given SOME of the facts of life in Indonesia back in the sixties.The good part of this book is that it resembles, in pace , thrilling and style, one of John LeCarré's spy books.The bad part of this book is that it seems to have no reason at all to exist. The book starts out of nowhere and finishes suddenly. I don't know if that's because the environment of the story is so alien to me, or any other reason, but that's how I felt.Grade 7.1 / 10
