Title: Wow, what a gong show
Review: I wanted to stop reading this book halfway through. I thought the writing was verbose and uneccesarily convoluted. I often had to repeat paragraphs. I thought the characters weren't developed well enough. The plot was very boring in the middle of the book, the island meeting dragged on and on. I also thought the love affair between Hannah and Salvo was silly, shallow and vacuous. Okay, so you're both from the same country and all the other male characters want to boink her, but could Le Carre not deepen their attraction any further? At times I felt the book was absurd. I'm a big fan of Le Carre's previous novels...this one was a huge disappointment and not how I want to remember Le Carre.
