A review by stefan_wenc
The Spy Who Came In from the Cold by John le Carré

4.0

I was surprised to find that this novel contained very little of Smiley himself, but was rather set in his world. I found it a little hard to get going with initially because of it, but once I made it to around the halfway mark and settled in with the style of unraveling an entire world based purely on interrogations and the interior thoughts of Leamas as the protagonist, I gained a great deal of appreciation for what le Carré was doing here. A very twisty and turny story, definitely of a certain era, but a good read!
