Summary: well, what you know. I've translated it into chinese,
Comment: and have found this so-called novel sucks big time. totally implausible plots, wordy writing, endless blahblahblah. self-fulfilled scenario. lousy style. i've to force myself to finish the translation since i've signed the contract to do it. what a torture! brain-dead story. i've thrown the book against the wall so many times that almost cracked and ruined it completely. don't know how this writer who once wrote 'the spy who came in from the cold' would have become such a lousy writer. horrible, simply horrible. the translation of this terrible book had been one of the worst experiences i've ever encountered in my life. i still hold a deep grudge against this writer, even it's a longtime ago experience, 'cause he'd wasted about one month of my life to finish the translation. the movie was even worse than this worst novel.

Summary: Le Carre at his best
Comment: I cannot believe there are no reviews on this wonderful work. John Le Carre is a gifted author and this, in my opinion, is his absolute best work ever. Written more than 20 years ago, his cautionary tale of espionage and terror in the Middle East- and played out on a world stage- will grab you from page one and enthrall. It is as timely and topical today as when it was first published. I re-read it after 9/11 and was amazed at how little changes in the Middle East, and how those events impact us in the West today. But beyond the topical interest- this is a strikingly beautifully written story, a love story, an espionage story, that stands as Mr Le Carre's most luminous work yet.
