Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy: A George Smiley Novel
Riveting and smart. Le Carré is a master of the spy genre. Smiley and his crew on the hunt for a mole inside the Circus could have been boring. Paper trails, reading through old files... Smiley is not Jason Bourne and that's a good thing. A really good thing. It's a fantastic chess game by proxy. The hunt for Karla's spy inside the organization takes the form of a long journey backwards, from the outside in since Smiley has been put to pasture. The hunt while not glamorous is still thrilling even if the culprit is kinda of obvious.I'm curious to see how the movie will turn out.
