'Not sure why this is revered so much - 'the best spy book ever written' apparently, when it is nothing of the sort. It's very Victorian and stiff, and while the idea of a group of anarchists where everyone there is actually a secret policeman is a funny one, there's no understanding or attempt to understand the motives behind anarchists and terrorists and when policemen trust the personal honour of the anarchists not to reveal who they really are, well. . . . Great title for a book though.
