Review title: An Angry, Manipulative LeCarre
Product review: I oppose the war in Iraq. That said, Mr.LeCarre's rageful, bitter declamation is a disservice to the reader, the story, and, mainly, his characters. Ted and Sasha should have been two of the author's best--baby boomers with major chips on their shoulders and a world of pained idealism in their hearts. Instead, Mr. LeCarre uses their fascinating life arc as a rank device to spew his hatred of American imperialism and my country's reactions to the horrible events of 9/11. At the end, we're supposed to be even angrier than he is at the USA, a country he seems to feel will kill any and every innocent on the planet to shore up its world supremacy. It's a shame. Mr. LeCarre has written eloquent essays expressing his disdain for all things American. He didn't need to resort to his beloved medium, fiction, to flesh out his hatred. This is a sad work of multi-layered character assassination; and the characters are Mr.LeCarre's own!
