I just picked this up from a charity shop while I was waiting to meet someone, having only read Brighton Rock by Greene before. It was a very easy book to get into and highly compelling, so I read the whole thing in a couple of sittings. We find out what's going on at the same rate as the protagonist, including the massive aside in the second section that pushes the understanding back, rather than forward.
