Review title: Stunning Disappointment - A Waste of Time
Product review: You begin reading this book and hope it will get better...but it doesn't. It becomes so painful that you simply can't give up out of sheer hope it will improve. The only reason it is a page-turner is because you can't believe how bad it is.The story is extremely weak, the characters bland and stale, and the timing is horrific. Le Carre could have spared us all 350 pages of bland writing and wasteful detail, to instead write a short-story of this work.LeCarre had an opportunity to make a statement about many things related to terrorism: it's foundations in a person, events leading to becoming one, how countries deal with and seek to turn the tide. But he doesn't. LeCarre wastes all his time bouncing back and forth, all over the map with his characters, creating a void of any substance."Absolute Friends" is an absolute waste of time. Do not bother.
