don't watch the film after reading the book - it's a crushing disappointment. It's a real shame, I saw the film last night and Tinker, Tailor.. is one of my all-time favorite books. The film has none of the depth of the book, hardly any character development - it just looks nice. Oldman is a superb actor, but you can't polish a turd.
I'm just about to start reading "Racing through the dark" - looking forward to it. I don't seem to be able to get my head around fiction at the moment, yet seem to be able to devour biographies whole - finished "Slaying the Badger" in about 2 days when on holiday recently, which was fantastic.
