Book Review: the Spy Who Came in from the Cold

The Spy Who Came in from the Cold ERP Task

The Spy Who Came in from the Cold, by John le Carré, is a classic of the spy fictionalisation and mystery genres. I read the Hodder edition, which was published in 2006 by Hodder & Stoughton. Despite being a little heavy to understand at first, I feel that The Spy Who Came in from the Cold should be added to the socio-economic class 2 curriculum as it is engaging.

This complex characterization of a worn-out spy, jeopardising his mission for the involvement of his lover, certainly will be useful and interesting for Year 2 students to analyse.
