paulataua 's review for:

The Looking Glass War by John le Carré
4.0

The Smiley retrospective continued with ‘The Looking Glass War’, which apparently got poor reviews initially . It was probably much to do with our perception of spies as being on top of their game while the spies here are bumbling amateurs. I actually liked it a lot. Just a simple story seeped in meaning. I am so enjoying this journey through Le Carré’s work.
