Review title: Not his best, certainly his worst ending
Product review: Having read all of LeCarre's previous books, I expected fantastic writing with a bit of a downer ending. Well this one had only mediocre writing and his worst ending ever! I really was disappointed. His writing still outshines most, but pales in comparison to that of his previous books. And the ending? I don't mind if it's a bit depressing, but this one was downright obscene. In the last chapter he stops writing and starts preaching, and the sermon is bad for any Americans--we're arrogant imperialists who faked the war in Iraq for oil and power, and worse than that, we're at fault for our response to terrorism. Seeing as how that was written by a man whose country didn't lose thousands of citizens on 9/11, I'm afraid I take offense. My recommendation: Wait for us his next book, probably he'll do better.
