As a non-Brit, I'm using the dictionary to look up words often, sometimes multiple times per page. So reading Le Carre's books as ebooks is better for me just for that reason.
I'm reading them in order. I found the first two enjoyable enough, but it took getting to the ending of The Spy Who Came In From The Cold for me to really "get" Le Carre. That floored me. Taking a break before starting the next one.
I also got a hint of that feeling from the "A Most Wanted Man" movie.
I didn't really like the Gary Oldman Tinker Tailor movie, so I'm not sure how much I'm looking forward to that book.
- jhbadger 6y agoDon't judge the book by the movie. It's a very complicated story and the movie was nearly incomprehensible because they tried to cram everything in it without explanation. The book, and the 1970s miniseries starring Alec Guinness are both excellent, though.
