Read it for the end please, just do a favour and read it for the end and it will not be a waste of time I promise. The beginning and even the middle sucks quite a bit...but...the end will make it worthwhile totally.

While I enjoy Le Carré's novels, I often feel like some of the details of his plots go over my head. However I was pleasantly surprised to find I had a handle on this one from the beginning. It's a more straightforward story than some of his others I've read but still has some unexpected twists and turns.
