Haha! That's funny! And Bond is like real life? Ah, well, there's no such thing as "bad" press. Wink

I think that is becasue it is short, accessible and easy to follow. It's a great book. I really enjoyed it. But, for me, Tinker, Tailor... has more meat, somehow. The characterizations alone are worth the read.

Was that your first Follett espionage novel? I have not read any of them. Its a new genre for me.
