  • A great fictional book about spying

    Le Carre is one of the best at writing Low key but thrilling spy books. If you love intelligent novels this one. No one I think is better.

  • Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy

    Set in 1973 at the height of the Cold War, this is along with the Sir Alec Guinness version that was made earlier, is probably one of the best spy movies ever made. The cast is first rate especially Gary Oldman!

  • Intelligent reading

    I gave this to my brilliant brother who enjoys reading but is picky about what he reads. Well Mikey liked it. Intelligent spy novel for the discerning reader.
