Fantastic. Confusing, complex, a million spiders webs on top of each other. These incredible portraits of driven men, driven to self destruction. He kills men we’ve followed for hundreds of pages in a single line. It’s about belief, conviction, the r ...more

He did a lot right in the book - a clear story structure. It’s interesting read for other men who grew up without fathers in their homes - and a cool conclusion that every masculine trait he searched for in the bar was actually always there in his mo ...more

Smiley's People by John le Carré
Rate this book
Clear rating
It’s good but not the best of Le Carre. A book about the futility of treachery, the Cold War, how we are changed into monsters even as we pursue “noble” goals. Staring into the abyss. A nostalgic book, an end to a triology.

Second-rate Sharpe. The first third is aimless, the main joke about the home-made film being too unrealistic to be funny.
He’s too didactic in this one, he wants to vent, to make a point, to mock certain groups rather than let the humour determine th
