joemaggs 's review for:
The Night Manager
by John le Carré
Le Carré has a wonderfully unique way of describing his passages that evoke understandings not matched by other authors I’ve read. While I can’t describe this book as a page turner it is something much more sophisticated and enjoyable than that - one for the long run. Pine is a complex and heavy yet principle protagonist, one who is enjoyable to root for while you also rue his weaknesses yourself. Le Carré’s ability to create what is essentially a whole separate world of espionage, inseparable and yet wholly different to our pop culture understandings, is what makes this a good book.
