Habe mich an manchen Stellen durchgequält, dann war es wieder ganz spannend. Werde mir bald mal den Film anschauen, um zu vergleichen.

Set in the 1970s, George Smiley is tasked with identifying a Russian mole in the British Intelligence.
Not a fan of the writing style. The mystery was actually just deciphering what le Carre was writing.

The definitive mole-hunt of spy literature, a procedural whodunnit mystery as Smiley threads the grubby Whitehall labyrinth of the Circus in search of the elusive Gerald and an unthinkable betrayal. Superbly contructed, intrictately plotted, filled with memorable characters, and proof that you can generate suspense and tension and grip readers in a vice through scenes of people having conversations

Expected a good page turner, but didn’t expect the writing to be so evocative. Really exciting, for a book that’s basically about a guy reading a few files.

It was a fine book, the story didn't captivate me, and I wasnt invested in any of the characters so I didn't care what happened to them
