Agreed on Colin Firth! I can well believe he would read Greene’s prose beautifully.

Obviously I can’t agree at all with the criticisms being made, but it seems pointless to get into a “Yes it is/No it isn’t” sort of argument about the quality or lack of it in Greene’s writing and characterisations.

I think it is quite reasonable not to like the book. Greene’s private life may be fascinating, but I don’t think is really a part of what we are looking at here, any more than the fact he was what used to be called manic depressive.
