I liked the book, it was one of the few Le Carre books that has a sunny setting (i.e., outside of foggy, rainy post war england) and, for Le Carre, it has a happy ending. I recently saw the movie and it is even better than the book. The movie is fast paced and suspenseful from the begining and does not let up until the credits appear at the end. Diane Keaton was fantastic and Klaus Kinski was very good. I can't do professional grade movie reviews, like Peter Reiher, so I will simply say that I recommend the movie highly.
