adventurous challenging dark medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes

4.0

This was the first le Carre novel outside the Smiley universe I’ve read and I was surprised on two accounts: (1) How entertaining it was despite the new cast of characters (2) The amount of profanity in the book (which was minimal to non-existent in the earlier le Carre novels I’ve read)

In the end, this was a really engaging story and close to a 5 for me. Dock 1 star for the excessive obscenities.
