"Interesting novel/personal history. It is a fact that W.Somerset Maugham worked for the British in World War I, the question is, "How much of this collection of stories is true?"
No matter what, the tales in this collection are well turned."
"ALLEGEDLY THIS BOOK HAD A "SLIGHTLY WORN DUST JACKET IN GOOD CONDITION". IT WAS FALLING APART. LITERALLY. I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED BY THE CONDITION. BROKER SHOULD HAVE BEEN HONEST. I WOULD HAVE PAID MORE FOR A DUST JACKET THAT WAS ACTUALLY IN GOOD CONDITION. THE CONTENT OF THE BOOK IS EXCELLENT--ANOTHER GREAT MAUGHAM TALE. VERY MIFFED ABOUT THE BROKER."
"Wonderfully British collection of espionage tales from a former spy; one of the classics of the genre and ostensibly required reading of newbies in teh secret service. This was originally written in the '20s, I believe and reissued around the start of WWII. Terrific, wry British style and humor."
"So far the least enjoyable of all Maugham's books, Ashenden doesn't even begin to approach the sheer brilliance of The Razor's Edge.
That said, I love Maugham - so I just changed the rating from two to three stars. This book reads better as an interconnected series of short stories, each independently a quirky or insightful commentary on human nature. Some are more successful than others, but all are artfully and comically written (even the tragic tales)."
