Superb novel and thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish. My first time reading any John LeCarre but not my last.

Riveting read with great characters, both in terms of good and evil. I absolutely detested all the Male suits except Justin and Donohoe.

Although this is fiction no doubt what it describes is unfortunately a reality for many around the world.

Very thought provoking and eye opening. I'm looking forward to reading more by the author.

This book was good in the beginning but I feel like it lost itself on the way...

+ not a bad read, interesting premise 

- meandering plot, really slow and commentary is a little off-putting at times
