The Honourable Schoolboy
By John LeCarre
This is the second book in the Karla trilogy... It seemed to take me forever to read. And in the end.. I didn't really understand the significance... At best I hope this is a set up for the final book and that more will become evident..
This story concerns itself with Smiley getting his department together again, and investigating a 'gold seal' money paid from Russia to an agent? It was too much money for just an agent.. Nobody knows the whole story of anything that is going on.. so you are constantly trying to guess and fill in the missing pieces.. prehaps I did not do a good enough job of that. It isn't that I didnt enjoy the novel.. I just didnt quite get it.. In the end it seemed like a large setup for a very small pay off.. but maybe that was the point?
