    <body><![CDATA[I am so glad to have rediscovered Graham Greene. I love that his heroes are less than heroic and that his sense of morality is always complicated. The repressed and stodgy hero asks at one point: &quot;Was the secret of lasting youth known only to the criminal mind?&quot; Something to consider.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[There's a Crown &amp; Anchor in Monterey, California. They've taken the &quot;old English naval power&quot; theme about as far as any such place ought to.

    <body><![CDATA[Brilliantly written, of course, but I didn't like the urbanity with which the ultimately serious matters were treated. Feel the humour needed to be much more savage.<br/><br/>See my reading group review:<br/><br/><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.e.baines.zen.co.uk/group_sofar13.htm#Jan2008" title="http://www.e.baines.zen.co.uk/group_sofar13.htm#Jan2008">http://www.e.baines.zen.co.uk/group_sofa...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[An enjoyable read. I like Greene but this isn't his best. The writing's good but the &quot;secret&quot; is a little obvious. The ending is disappointing, too, probably because it's dated. I had hoped our hero would be just that, but...]]></body>
