I remember it being the only good JLC book I read, but that was MANY years ago, so for all I know, it could be garbage.Chris Hewsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11566568274862884325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-466664178030881789.post-3572503529609164162014-12-22T08:24:11.077-08:002014-12-22T08:24:11.077-08:00Haha!

Hooray, finally someone who thinks the same as I do! I'm surprised so many outlets gave it four or five stars! I prefer things to actually *happen* in movie's given such a high rating.<br /><br />I didn't expect much from A Most Wanted Man, as it's adapted from a book by John Le Carre (author of the above TTSP), and he's a TERRIBLE writer. His writing is so poorly structured that his books can get really confusing, especially in the climaxes (in The Honourable Schoolboy, he wrote 'He got shot' instead of saying the character's name, so I legitimately didn't know who was killed!). And of course, his plots are just plain boring with a capital Please Stop.Chris Hewsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11566568274862884325noreply@blogger.com
