A decent spy story--excepting the last act--but damn, it has aged like milk. The misogyny, hoo boy. James is such an unlikable prick.

Wasn't quite what I expected. There is a lot more reflection on career, choices, and feelings than I thought there would be. There is also quite a bit of sexism, but that is perhaps not surprising considering when it was written. 

The narration is very good, and suits it perfectly. It was easy to listen to and I did zoom through it. 

It made me appreciate the film adaptation more, and although I did quite enjoy it, it didn't make me desperate to read more of them. It feels very much of its time, but I'm glad the source material has inspired so many other creative outlets.
