Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy

I think I finally understand the plot! It took many viewings of the BBC mini-series, a couple of the 2011 movie, and a slow read of the book; comparing it to the 2 shows to understand this!

Although I can't identify with any of the actors in the mini-series I think I had to see this plot visually and it had the plot I could understand better. Of the entire book I surprised myself by enjoying the last couple chapters and I realized it was because I finally had the 1st person point of view. I like being able to see how someone thinks; I hate intentionally missing plot points and unexplained actions.
