The Spy Who Came In From the Cold
Creator(s): John Le Carré |
Franchise: Smileyverse |
Medium: book | audiobook |
Date Reviewed: 21 June 2023
Rating: ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The movie adaptation of this book is what really got me into Le Carré. It’s twisty and cynical and compelling—just a great book. Not perfect, of course: Its age shows uncomfortably in some places, including the way it entirely fails the Bechdel Test. I can’t help but give it a full rating, though.

Currently listening to an audiobook where the British narrator has to do the voice of a German character who speaks in English with a Canadian accent. It’s so convoluted that I can’t tell if it’s good or not.
