Review title: Absolutely Boring Friends
Product review: This is LeCarre's most pedestrian work. It starts well, getting one involved with the two major characters. But then it seems to tread water for much of the remainder of the book, at times making very little sense. One character becomes a caricature and unlike some of LeCarre's main characters in other books, I found I didn't really care what happened to him. He behaved in unexplicable, erratic ways that simply were not convincing. The denouement at the end was equally unconvincing. Sorry I cannot be more positive, but this book was a real disappointment.
