“A Most Wanted Man” by John Le Carre – Book Review
February 9, 2010
4/5]
In my books, if a story includes a mysterious half-starved Russian man randomly being in Hamburg, linked in with a strong-willed idealistic German civil rights lawyer who happens to be a young lady, then the story is going to be a damn good one. Twin this with an aging banker from England and the involvement of the three governments’ desire to control the ‘war on terror’, and we have a gritty, and often darkly astounding novel, which one will remember long after the last page has been turned. Described as relevant to our times, this tense thriller combines mystery with humour, sex, and passion; its intercultural, economic and political plots strengthen the essence of the story and believability of the characters and their importance not only to the novel but to you as the reader. Highly recommended for any passionate soul.
