A review by arjun238
The Ipcress File by Len Deighton

3.0

Imagine a writer who is a cross between PG Wodehouse and John Le Carrè. Now imagine that's he is high while writing a book. You get Len Deighton. This is my third book by Deighton and I still don't get him. The storyline lacks coherency and random stuff just keeps happening. Finally when we do get an explanation, it leaves you feeling unsatisfied. The wit in the lines are a plus point, however incongruous it may be.
This is supposed to be masterpiece in the spy thriller genre but somehow it did not meet expectations for me.
