A review by warrenl
The Ministry of Fear by Graham Greene

5.0

Others have commented on The Ministry of Fear's implausible precept of a cell of Nazi sympathizers hiding a microfilm in a cake. Yeah, nah. But putting that argument aside, what really elevates this book into 5-star territory is the sublime quality of the writing. This is Greene maintaining the incredible momentum he hit with The Power and the Glory and starting to cement himself in the very first rank of English writers, where he remains to this day.
