miramanga 's review for:
The Looking Glass War
by John le Carré
It's no secret I'm a huge le Carré fan. Especially of his character George Smiley.
Lucky for me then that this novel is #4 in the Smiley series. He doesn't play a prominent roll in this book but his presence is felt throughout.
This is a taut and tense read. Le Carré surpasses other spy writers with wonderful, evocative descriptions that persuade you that you are walking the very corridors his characters are creeping along. His characters are always so well observed and real that they make an indelible impression in your brain.
I don't want to give away anything but all I'll say is, if you decide to fly in the face of Smiley, all bets are off.
With Skyfall fever infecting the globe, this is the perfect time to pick up this book and step into post-War espionage - a book to leave you shaken AND stirred.
