I loved The Spy Who Came In From The Cold. It is a masterpiece: figured I would give his second most famous novel a shot.
This book did not make sense. I felt as if I was an outsider constantly reading another group's inside jokes. I thought everything would come together similarly to TSWCIFTC, but I got nothing from this book. I'm sure it will make sense if you read the books chronologically, but this turtle's-slog of a book may have ruined Le Carre for me.
