reviewed on + 212 more book reviews


Despite my willingness to read almost anything, I havent really ever read much in the spy genre. The closest I come is usually something on the mystery front, cuz sometimes theres some spying involved there. However, I saw the movie Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy when it was out over the winter, and decided I would like to read the book because I enjoyed the movie so much.

There were parts of the movie that were kind of confusing to me, this is a convoluted plot and due to the length of the book, some bits got lost in translation. I was really happy to have a lot of that cleared up through reading the book, and the semi familiarity with the plot also made it easier to understand pieces of the book. So that in itself makes this a great movie adaptation, in my world.
