Three men meet on a ship bound for Haiti, where corruption and terror reign. Disillusioned and noncommittal, they are the “comedians” of Greene’s title, hiding from life’s pain and love behind their chosen masks.

I am still not sure why this book was free but I am glad I read it. I wanted to learn more about Haiti and while it didn’t accomplish that goal it was still a great story.

Fascinating

Relevant in our times. Not much has changed since then. Worth while book to read. Informative. Entertaining

Great historical novel

For those who grew up mostly ignorant of Haitian history and the appalling role of America, specifically the CIA, in supporting violent and inhumane regimes in South and Central America and the Caribbean, this book is a must read. While the Americans only show up in the persons of the buffoonish but ultimately heroic Smiths, the ghastly rule of of "Papa Doc" Duvalier, supported by the United States as a "bulwark against Communism," is laid open to the reader's horrified eyes.

Fabulous Greene story.

The narrator had good voices but too often he got the wrong voice or so it seemed to me. That led to confusion sometimes

The characters and history brought old Haiti alive

I will start by saying that some of the negative feelings you may have by the time you are two-thirds of the way through this story are made sense of by Greene in the last third of the story. However, I don’t know if the last third of the book makes up for weaknesses in attempts at satire in the earlier two-thirds. The story does have an interesting historical setting and, ultimately, and interesting message about idealism and its limits and importance in life; however, I thought some characters were unrealistic—or ineffectively satirical; also, and lastly, Brown’s womanizing of Martha seemed overwrought, or worse.
