A review by delrivero
The Confidential Agent by Graham Greene, Ian Rankin
mysterious
reflective
medium-paced
3.0
A pretty decent thriller from Graham Greene. The plot moves and there is enough characterization to care about what happens in the story. There is a part of the book that suffers a little from some clichés but nothing too serious.
There are interesting moments, like some calm observations about war and its consequences, or the rejection of that popular misunderstanding that violence is typical of human nature.
The book doesn't delve too deep and ends up being a middling work by the author, but let's be honest, any middling work by Greene is worth checking out.
