After bowled over by the movie adapted from this book, decided to give it another go. Well, the book is still hard to read; characters less lively and charismatic; events less thrilling (e.g. unsatisfied closure as the very clever one in the film.) Original review: jimg2000 Feb 08, 2011 I gave up after reading about 100 pages, about 1/3 of the book. TOo much fluffy meaningless "stuff" that are not clever or relation to the plot. Bad! BTW, I had read most of le Carre's books and they were good...wonder if this one is written by an 3rd rated ghost writer as le Carre must be getting real old to write.
