Review title: When bad things happen to good books
Product review: I was deeply disappointed in LeCarre's latest offering. I'm not bothered by the anti-Americanism that other negative reviewers note, though it is indeed there and center-front.What struck me was that here was most of a very well-written novel that LeCarre seems to have gotten tired of after, oh say, page 400. At that point all of the naunced and thoughtful character development and observation gets heaved for a fantastic comic book finish done in large black and white strokes. The "Heidelberg Seige" as I believe its called in the book, is more the stuff of Tom Clancy than John LeCarre.In the end even LeCarre's sense for people fails him and the last few pages are simply an accounting lacking in skill and subtleness that only serve to further beat his political drum.
