Review title: He ripped off G K Chesterton!
Product review: The book feels like two and I didn't buy how he connects the two. The first part is cold war stuff recycled. The second is his diatribe against the war in Iraq. The glued together pieces of his story ultimately portray Islam as noble and stoic and the West as evil and probably deserving of what they got. The observant reader will undoubtedly see similarities in the story line with le Carre's other works such as "A Perfect Spy", "The Looking Glass War" and, yes, even "TSWCIFTC."What really put me over the edge was le Carre ripping off lines from one of G K Chesterton's "Father Brown" stories. If you read the book and didn't catch it, it was the part about what the best joke is.Don't waste your time on this book. If you want good reading, start with Chesterton. His books are easily and reasonably available from Ignatius Press.
