jfuel 's review for:
The Honourable Schoolboy
by John le Carré
With all the spy jargon, British idioms and Asian geographical and cultural references, it's amazing I understood this book, let alone enjoyed it. But enjoy it I did. The characters alone are worth the price of admission. The compelling plot and intrigue put it over the top and the occasional jab at the "Cousins" is icing on the cake.
Guillam was exhausted. Forty is a difficult age at which to stay awake, he decided. At twenty or at sixty the body knows what it’s about, but forty is an adolescence where one sleeps to grow up or to stay young.
Since girlhood, nothing seemed to have happened to her face beyond a steady fading of its hopes.
