For a spy novel, Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy was a bit boring but overall okay. Maybe having seen the movie ruined it a bit for me since I knew how it ended. It is basically about a former spy having to return to duty to investigate his former division to see which of the head members is actually a Russian mole. There really isn't that much action... most of the book is the main guy Smiley reading through old papers and interviewing people. He's described as an old short fat guy too... so this isn't a James Bond type of adventure. I'll give it a B.Thursday, March 19, 2015
