Review:
"Full of treasures for Greene enthusiasts: a complex web of betrayal and deceit and a tormented central character" (Observer)
"From the beginning Greene was fascinated by the thriller, which has at its heart deceit, an idea or an ideal betrayed, emotion hidden behind a mask" (Guardian)
"Greene had wit and grace and character and story, and a transcendant, universal compassion that places him for all time in the ranks of world literature" (John Le Carre)
"He was a writer who was intensely interested in the world more than in books or ideas. And this is why he was such a good story-teller. He was the least parochial of writers yet he was always interested in the particular" (John Berger)
"One of our greatest authors... For experience of a whole century he was the man within" (Independent)
