“… sometimes it seems in this irresistible book that this is what we are all fighting for: the beauty of life and nothing else.”—The New York Times

From the New York Times bestselling author of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and the creator of the iconic spy George Smiley, John le Carré, The Little Drummer Girl is hailed as one of the author’s best, and the favorite of the likes of Steven King and John Grisham.

Excellent story. Narrator’s voicing of Charlie makes her seem trivial and childish. Voicing of Helga-nails on chalkboard. Arabic accents unconvincing.

Narrator’s accents annoying.

This is one of my favorite Le Carre novels. The story had me hooked from the start. Excellent narration.

Compelling story

This is one I’ve read before, and although it can be tough to follow if you are paying “close” attention, the audio version didn’t disappoint. Great vocal performance, and as always excellent writing by the master of espionage.

Soooooooo good!!! A great listen. Le Carré at his best: beautifully drawn characters, well-crafted story. Ando does an admirable job at capturing all the nationalities and traits and performances of the large cast of characters. A bit of patience and you get used to some of the clumsiness. The heart comes through. A very good Audible experience.

Great Writing, Admirably Told

The story is great but the narration isn't. Narrator seems to try to differentiate characters but it all ends up sounding the same and her voice gets distracting

Great book, but

Narrator made the Israelis sound like Germans. They sound mothing like the subtle characyers in the book.

My absolute favorite book
