Criticize Based On Books Smiley's People (George Smiley #7)

One great quote, Lacon to Smiley after a long dinner:"You know, George, if Ann had been your agent instead of your wife, you'd probably have run her pretty well"

'Smiley's People' is wonderful. Having been a little disappointed in the previous book 'The Honourable Schoolboy' (George Smiley #6) (1977), I am delighted to report that 'Smiley's People' is a return to peak Smiley.My experience is that the more Smiley appears, the better the book, and so it is with 'Smiley's People which is about 90% Smiley. 'Smiley's People' is also the final part of the Karla trilogy. Smiley, now in his twilight years, displays his customary thorough, cerebral, unrelenting

The last book of le Carre's Karla series might be the best. I turned to this book after watching the recent -- and excellent -- film adaptation of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy (I read the book many years ago). I don't know why it took me so long to finish this series, since I also loved the second book, The Honorable School Boy. Maybe I just didn't want the series to end.

However, T.V. and movies got in the way the key characters had become so closely associated with the actors who

This was stunning - quite possibly a perfect novel. It would almost be an insult to describe it as a great example of its genre, for le Carre is such a splendid writer that he elevates his tales of espionage to the level of true literature. While other of his works exhibit the slight flaw (in the case of Tinker, Tailor it was more than slight) of an overly-complex plot, here le Carre keeps things just simple enough that the reader can keep up without too much difficulty. The "tradecraft" is



"Like an archaeologist who has delved all his life in vain, Smiley had begged for one last day, and this was it."Smileys People is the extremely satisfying conclusion to John le Carrés Karla trilogy. Having finished the first in the trilogy (Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy) in March and the second (The Honourable Schoolboy) in April, I was able to sink into this installment with reasonable ease. Although once again presented with a fairly large cast of characters, I was more readily able to wrap my
