A story about this — 5 years ago
Not my favorite Greene novel, for sure. It seems only the sketch of a novel, and none of the characters ever really emerges entirely in his or her own right. Plus, they’re almost all entirely unlikeable (which isn’t necessarily a bad thing in a novel), and most unsympathetic (which is a bad thing). I didn’t dislike the book, I just didn’t love it. And I’ve loved every other Greene book I’ve read.
