*by J***K on Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2015*

Victoria, Australia, have chosen to put this on the final year senior school list; a decision I find odd but not terrible.It tells a decent story of children and adults' misunderstandings during a helpfully evocative WWII London setting. There's quite a bit of "To Kill a Mockingbird" about it. There are some lovely and poignant moments as his young protagonist fumbles his way towards adolescence, and is left guessing at the actions of the women in his street: something's up but he doesn't understand what or why.But Frayn's conceit can't continue to trade on such little capital, for the sheer fact that the readers aren't children. By the end, the narrative has lost its raison d'etre, and we are left with a supposed 'twist' that feels more like a strangle.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Written with great precision and sensibility
  

*by S***A on Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2015*

Spies by Michael Frayn is a jewel of a novel. Written with great precision and sensibility, it brings the reader close to the characters and makes them feel, taste, smell, what they experience. Indirectly, through the memories of the protagonist's childhood, we begin to know the adults in that child's life and the hopes, fears, and aches they have, but which the child only half understands. Gradually the reader begins to know what's what and this makes for the suspense. One is left with a feeling of nostalgia and pity, without morbidity or cynicism.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    The wrongs of war
  

*by J***Z on Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2019*

I enjoyed this highly controlled story of WWII in England. It is a coming of age story of young Stephen. While playing Spies, Stephen and his friend Keith stumble on a huge secret. Stephen struggles with what he has learned, as Keith removes himself and learns from his father how to confront betrayal. Well done!
