| The Spy Who Came In From The Cold by John le Carré |
After trying to read several books that didn't engage me, it was a pleasure to read this one. It went down smoothly, no hiccups, no jarring notes. Well, not until we got to the end. Did not like the ending for multiple reasons, but up till then it was great.
Our man, Alec Leamas, is sent to East Germany to take down Mundt, the East German spy master. Mundt has caught several British spies and killed them, so Alec is totally motivated. Unbeknownst to him, Mundt is acutally working for the Brits and Alec's mission has been compromised so it becomes obvious to the East Germans that Alec has been sent there to compromise Mundt. All fine and well, but why does Alec suddenly trust his nemesis now? Well, too bad for you, Alec.
