Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy by John le Carré
5.0

I am 100% normally a book before movie person. however, this is the one of the rare occasions where I highly recommend watching the film first - if only to put a face to all of the names.

that being said, this is one of my favorite classic mystery espionage novels. it has a ton of characters, yes, but it takes everything loved by old spy thrillers and amplifies it to sensitive and real-world drama.

5/5 stars :’)
