Book Report - Absolute Friends
I completed reading Absolute Friends by John LeCarre.
This was written shortly after W's victory in Iraq. LeCarre is quite obviously not believing the justification for the war was which was provided by W and TB. The novel's copyright is 2003.
To this reader, his anger made the book less than a compelling read as his plot is an expression of anger and distrust of the US. Just as the reasons for the Iraq war were false, so are components of LeCarre's plot and structure. That said though, any novel by LeCarre is a good way to spend some hours but this isn't one of my favorites.
My grade - B- with the added note that the story may enrage fans of GWB.
