A MOST WANTED MAN by John le Carré

10-19-2009. Ain't it great? John is 78. Happy Birthday.

I'm on chapter 5 as of last night, and I'm already enthralled. I like this one much better than "Constant Gardener" or "Mission Song."

the usa has it's own laws and moral-splitted up from the rest of the world, ignoring agreements of the UNO. they are freaks.

I just love anagrams. Nothing seems safe.

Subject: a most wanted man - Annabel Richter - Thomas Brue - Issa Karpov
Anagram: visa - so park - waste not madman - anan - rich belter - USA rob them

I also finished this book today, very sad and, mostly for Issa. But if, just imagine, if Issa Karpov was an FSB agent (its possible, right?), so, the all story will be very different and the reaction of USA not so stupid. FSB bring dirty money to Islamic fighters

But for Dr. Abdullah obviously, in any way, plan of Gunter was much better, not a logic aye for the aye, but use the power of moderate Islam to stop the militant Islam.

i just finished this book, great stuff, truly tragic and u never expect the end. must read for everyone, doesn't really focuses on rendition but on the thinking behind rendition as a result, the political forces etc. But the morality aspect of the book was really touching.

I wonder what was the background music used for this video. Very apt to a John le Carre novel. Anyone, hey?=) Thanks for posting, HodderStoughton

Likewise. I've finishes the book. It's brilliantly written, another of his best in my view. The Le Carré style passion all over again, and the anger. It just goes to say never trust anything critics writes.

I didn't like "The Mission Song" that much though, got quite bored at about one third.

take another look. at base level, JLC is a realist. there are "different" sides of this conflict, just not the traditional sides (good vs. evil, government vs. government, commies vs. caps). this story is simply another of his forays into human circumstance and plight that enters a character against the very modern, real threats that the current state of world affairs offers.

When all is said and done, Le Carré is an author, not a politician. He doesnt have the influence nor the ability to change history. What he expressed in his book is a realistic reflection of the current dilemma which effects us all to a different extent. Another thing to remember, all his books are about human passion, love, hate, betrayal, and the ever-lasting gray faceless System. Thats why hes never knighted, nor will he be is my guess.
