A great read. Reads as a play, so great opportunity to use your imagination as to how the story plays out.

I thought this was a tremendous book, and the first I had read by Graham Greene. I had heard he wrote poetry, and I would say this was poetry in prose. It was a little tough to get into to start, perhaps because it takes place in the '40s in a faraway, unknown place (unknown to me at least) but once the story got under way, I finished it in no time.

Great book to have discussions about, such as in a book club that focuses on philosophy, life, God and personal responsibilities to others.

Well written. This book was disturbing only in the sense that he wrote some calmly about the attrocities he lived through without hate or anger.

A short book, but I would highly recommend it to everyone.

I enjoyed the first section of the book, when the history of the templars were laid out, but the second half was hard to follow.

I thought this book was a far better read than his "Middlesex" novel. A great insight on teenage lives.
