John le Carre

I pre-ordered his new one and it came this week by mail.  I have only gotten to page 6 but I have to say so far it is OK..

From page 2:

...his rhetoric had alarmed him.  Would Orwell have believed it possible that the same overfed voices which had haunted him in the 1930's, the same crippling incompetence, addiction to foreign wars and assumptions of entitlement, were happily in place in 2009?

If there is anything le Carre goes after better than the Brits, it is the Americans.  But as I said, I am only on page 6 so far.
