Title: Boring
Review: I've enjoyed some other Le Carre books (The Spy Who Came in from the Cold, Smiley series, etc.), so I thought I knew what I was getting into with this book. But I didn't. It was incredibly boring. To call it a spy novel is beyond a stretch, it's more of a character study as another reviewer posted. At least the other Le Carre books I've read have good climaxes with nice twists in the end. Not this one. His writing style really began to grate on me after a while. There's no doubt that he can turn a phrase, but the florid language became incredibly tedious. If the hallmarks of good writing are brevity and clarity then he failed on both accounts, but especially the former.
