Book 22: The Quiet American
Title: The Quiet American
Author: Graham Greene
Genre: Literature
Rating: 9/10
Synopsis: "The Quiet American" is set in Vietnam in the early 1950s. The narrator, Fowler, lives with his mistress, Phoung. One night, he meets an American who hopes to create a "Third Force" to end the spread of Communism. His methods alarm the world-weary and previously uninvolved Fowler who must make a choice that has grave consequences. He must decide whether that choice was made because it was right, or because it was right for him.
I liked: A gripping mystery with a prophetic sensibility.
I didn't like: Toward the end things got somewhat confusing, but I might have just been tired. ;)
