The Ministry of Fear: An Entertainment by Graham Greene

2.0

Feels like an experiment based on a trying out a few clever ideas about memory loss, guilt, limits of knowledge and the like. The description of Blitz-era London is excellent and Greene conveys the sense of fear, horror, and random destruction wonderfully. Could have been about 100 pages shorter. Some of the motivation of characters is a little hard to believe. Based on the original NYT review written when this came out, appearing during the War itself must have added to the book's power.
