Review of The Ipcress File (1965) by Sarah O — 08 Aug 2011
The Ipress File is the first in the Harry Palmer series and is set during the Cold War. I'm not a huge spy movie or spy novel fan, but there's just something about this series is utterly charming - perhaps it's the character of Palmer.
I like that Palmer is kind of the anti-James Bond. Palmer is not equipped with any special weapons, unless one counts wit and luck. The Ipcress File explores mind control as a war method and the special effects are off the hook.
