   Is the Quiet American a good book?

   • The words. From the start and sustained throughout, The Quiet American has an intensity which is compelling. Its allure is heady as scent and as intimate. This being a Greene novel, the intimacy is of the soul because, even with his flaws, Fowler is a human being. And Greene is at his best when stripping us down to our essentials.
