4.0 out of 5 stars The end of the ride, 29 April 2008
By M. Duncan "duncanmatty" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is by far the most action packed of the Samson books, and makes for very satisfying reading. I have noted in other reviews (see SPY SINKER) how unhappy I am with Deighton revisiting the plot of GAME, SET and MATCH. The net effect, without giving too much away, is that EVERYTHING our hero Bernard Samson does in the first trilogy turns out to have been planned: by whom would be telling. It might seem like a neat twist to the author, but I felt very much like Samson does - like I'd been taken for a ride, albeit perhaps an enjoyable one. The story ends here, by the way - don't read SPY SINKER, unless you are a masochist or work for the KGB.

5.0 out of 5 stars Len Deighton is the opposite of Satan!, 2 Nov 2000
By A Customer
That's right - because he's the angel Gabriel! He seems to bring us these absolutely wonderful books from the dark recesses of his pithy mind. When you compare this to the greats of the genre, names like Ian Fleming, John le Carre etc he is immediately elevated in role by virtue of his firm grasp of humour. His mixture of humour, humanity and sheer energy leads one to the conclusion that there is no beter wirter of the deviency of human nature. He burgles effortlessly from real life, and since all fiction has to be rooted somewhere in an alternative reality, one could say that Len Deighton is the biggest burgler of them all! He sets up these elaborate twists and wonderful theories and then with one shake of his pen he leads you off the scent completely. If you, like me, want lots of action and loads of insight into the world of espionage then sign up for this little cracker of a book.

Hold on MI5, I want to join!
