The Little Drummer Girl: A Novel Audiobook

" Gosh I read this so long ago I really can not remember what I actually thought... "

" This is not one of my preferred genres (spy thrillers) but it held my interest on road trips. This is the Israel/Palestine conflict with the points of view of both sides honored...with the horror of war/revenge/death mixed in. Will it ever end? "

" Great take on the Israeli Palestinian conflict. "

" Seems like the forerunner to Daniel Silva's books, but a little slower. Le Carre' was one of the first and best with the espionage spy thrillers, I think this is the first one of his I have read, after hearing what a classic it is. "

" Picked this up at a used bookstore for the cool cover (not pictured), found out later it was a well known title. Its an ambitious book covering a lot of ground, cheesy at times, but very interesting for the Isreali/Palestinian points of view and locations. I would probably tell most to skip it as I felt let down by the end. "

" Not Le Carre's best work, IMO. The Quest for Carla trilogy was more intriguing and the characters more real. "

" Another spy saga I read in high. I remember being intrigued by the female main character - so unusual in the genre. "

" I hated, hated, hated, hated, hated this book. Maybe it's me. But the book went nowhere. The characters were unlikeable (even for a LeCarre novel -- his characters are usually unlikeable, but these really peg the meter). Did I mention I hated this book? "

" I had not read any of John Le Carre's novels before. I am fascinated with the Israeli/Palestinian conflict and this was an interesting take on it. However, it dragged on and on and on. There were huge sections I could have skipped without missing anything important. Good, but not great. "

" immersive writing, but a bit harder to get through "

" I imagine I read this in the late 80's. I thought it was wonderful at the time. "

" Remember all of the sudden I really loved this book, the story, the woman lead player, the suspense, in short, great book! "

" Action packed; if you like le Carre, you'll like this one. "

" An interesting book, but throughout I kept wondering "could this be done"? I liked the way LeCarre allows the reader to decide which characters to like. I know there was a squawk about anti-Semitism. I did not see it, and felt the author was even handed "

" Great character study mixed with Mosad spy thriller "

" One of the best books I've read in a while. "

" This is the most poignant of the Le Carre spy novels--and the only one with a female protagonist. It is set in England and the Middle East and its political focus is the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians. "

" Best le Carre (excepting anything with George Smiley). "

" At first I found it a diffficult book to get into, about Israel and Palestine, a classic spy thriller that does become a worthwhile read. "

" I recall enjoying it when I read it, but I recall nothing about the plot or the characters. I'm just not that into spy stories I think. A decent, but not a memorable read. "

" it probably would have been great as an audio cassette on a roadtrip... "

" lilla trumslagar "

" One of my three favorite books. Outstanding. "

" 'not his best' is still better than most novels ever written. warning: not about drumming. "

" Well... compelling enough story for me, but spoiled by too many sexual references. :( "

" On a John LeCarre binge ... "
