	John Connolly: Bestselling Author
		Le Carré's mother disappeared when he was five, abandoning her two sons to the care of Ronnie.
		Le Carré eventually tracked her down when he was 21, and met her for the first time in 16 years at Ipswich railway station.
		Le Carré is often perceived as, first and foremost, a spy novelist, but he argues that what connects the novels, both espionage and non-espionage, is the relationship between individuals and the groups, societies and institutions that they serve, the capacity of seemingly humane individuals to perform terrible acts when acting in concert with others.

	The Mission Song by John le Carre: Reviews
		At 74, le Carre's eye is undimmed, his passion for his craft as strong as it ever was.
		Yet if le Carré’s dramatization of Salvo’s linguistic reality - or indeed his private life - sometimes seems sketchy, his insight into the dense, dangerous nexus of corporate and government interests is chillingly assured.
		Le Carré has constructed another one of his meticulous plots that satisfies in terms of theme, suspense and style.

		Le Carr‚ may have changed publishers, but his latest novel remains as resolutely up-to-date as ever.
		The grim consequences are spelled out by le Carr‚ with a deadly fury that is startling in the context of his usual urbanity.
		Le Carré brings his superb reading talents-sonorous, cultured voice; gift for accents; deft expressiveness-to the story of Ted Mundy, a fumbling, well-meaning Brit; a '60s radical who stumbles into Cold War spying with German friend Sascha; a defector to the East who hates his Stasi masters.

	Amazon.ca: Smiley's People: Books: John Le Carre (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		John le CarrŽ's absorbing world of spies and espionage is one of human voices--of many nations and emotions--all artfully filtered through his caustic world view.
		Le Carre's protagonists, particularly George Smiley, do not possess the near superhuman powers, the "eyes in the back of the head", that are necessary for a Ludlum protagonist to survive from chapter to chapter.
		Foremost, is Le Carre's hero George Smiley, whose personal life history has been irretrievably shaped by his immersion in cold war espionage, and for whom, no victory or defeat will ever come without mixed emotions.

	John Le Carre - MSN Encarta
		He was born in Poole, England, and educated at the University of Bern in Switzerland and at the University of Oxford.
		The critical and popular success of Le Carré's third novel, The Spy Who Came In From the Cold (1963), convinced him to work full time as a writer.
		Le Carré's novels are regarded as perceptive depictions of the political climate during the Cold War, the period between the end of World War II (1939-1945) and the early 1990s during which the United States (and its allies) and the USSR (and its allies) regarded each other with mutual suspicion and hostility.

		While le Carre has not lost any of the gritty realism that was alway essential to his storytelling, this novel is also fired by obvious passion and strongly held personal convictions about it's main theme, the exploitation of third world countries by multinational Pharmas, which gives it an added edge.
		Le Carre is, despite what has been said on these pages, a very witty and sharp writer who delights regularly.
		Le Carre had goaded the reader continually regarding the contents of Justin's gladstone bag, and when they were revealed they created more of a whimper than a bang.

	Salon.com Books \| "The Constant Gardener" by John le Carré
		Le Carré's message, unsubtle here, is despairing: that in the face of such nefarious corporate power there's little to be done.
		We know from the start the pharmaceutical company is the culprit, so there's no suspense to the tale; le Carré thinks we're going to be so fired up by the polemic this novel disguises that we'll forgive him the lack of a true narrative arc.
		The Dickensian panorama of previous le Carré books might have better set off Quayle's limpidness; here, it is not made more interesting by contrast with the character of his dead wife, who is a martyred angel.

		John Le Carre's disillusioned, cynical and spellbinding spy novels are so unique because they are based on a wide knowledge of international espionage.
		Le Carre takes us inside the mind of a spy and the ongoing inner battle of what he is supposed to do and what is right to do.
		The second last chapter is the book's only flaw as le Carre uses a conversation between Mundt and Liz to hit the reader over the head with the message that the spies of the East and the West are alike in that they both believe the means justifies the ends.

		Hardcover or paperback - le Carré's Panama-- the young country due to gain control of the Canal December 31, 1999 -- is a Casablanca without heroes, a hotbed of drugs, laundered money, and corruption.
		Le Carre never talks down to his readers either - he uses marvellous language, and leaves you hanging by the merest threads to what is going on for a good half of the novel..."
		However, I am not disappointed that Le Carre took a risk and put his heart in the way of his pen this time.

		Le Carre has a powerful message for us about the dangers of believing that everything is what we are told.
		John LeCarre delivers a novel that is different from what we are used to, and although there are elements of espionage, the story centers on the personality, feelings and thoughts of the main character.

		John le Carré's conduct in your pages is like nothing so much as that of a man who, having relieved himself in his own hat, makes haste to clamp the brimming chapeau on his head.
