Classic Holmes
Reviewed: 04-28-09
What great fun for a Sherlock Holmes fan! 12 fully dramatized stories done for the BBC starring Sir John Geilgud as Holmes and Sir Ralph Richardson as Watson. Even Orson Welles starred as Moriarty. I enjoyed every minute of it. Done in the classic radio play style with music and sound effects.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 93
The preceding novel in the George Smiley series ( Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy) ended with the devastating unmasking of a double agent at the heart of the British Secret Service. Now, in The Honourable Schoolboy, George Smiley, who has assumed the unenviable job of restoring the health and reputation of his demoralized organization, goes on the offensive. He searches for a whisper, a hint, a clue that will lead him back to his opposite number: Karla, a Soviet officer in Moscow.

LeCarre makes a change...
Reviewed: 02-15-09
John LeCarre offers a look at an enemy that is not the Soviet Union. Far from the halls of the Kremlin, LeCarres exploration of a chaotic Far East right after the Vietnam War takes us on a journey from Hong Kong to a remote warlord's fiefdom with well constructed characters and ripping battlefield chapters.
