You will like this book if:

You are looking for a high brow spy novel.

Kudos: le Carré is the master of the genre. His writing is emulated because it is great. You can always expect quality characters and realistic espionage plots.

Critiques: I struggled to really get in to this book and know that I will probably give it another try later on. There were lots of sudden flashbacks that threw me off a little. I also wasn't a huge fan of the ending. I think too much time was spent on the climax with Mickie and not enough on the resolution.
