I think a lot of the time the first impulse of the book reviewer is to search for a comparison to make. I lived in breathless anticipation of both these books for months and then, when I finally received them, it took me a week to get started on each and then I read each one in two days flat. ![]() Even more unusual is that they were both preorders, and stranger still, they feel like they go together.

This useful, if not precise, distinction between entertainment and art occurred to me as I began watching the third season of Downton Abbey. His more serious "novels," like The Power and the Glory or The Quiet American-his art-were aimed at both. ![]() To oversimplify slightly, Greene's entertainments, like The Confidential Agent and Ministry of Fear, were well-plotted mysteries, espionage thrillers, and psychological melodramas aimed at stimulating emotion more than the mind. This entertainment/art schematic was used, early in his career, by Graham Greene to describe his own work.
