Summary: Slow for Bond; great moments of characterization worth it
Comment: This book never really gets the momentum it needs (and clearly wants) as a thriller. I don't know what happened to Fleming, usually a master craftsman, during this one.
On the other hand, the scenes of friendship between James and Felix are great, and so is the romance with Tiffany Case. Her traumatized, jaded characterization is very believable and heart-breaking. Bond is a very flawed, human character in the novel, and one can really identify with him and empathize with is wanting to help Tiffany, wanting the relationship to work, even though as readers, we know better.
Not a good place to start on the Bond books, but for fans of the series, should definitely not be skipped.
Rating: 4
Summary: OK
Comment: This was good! Probably better than Moonraker but the plot is not as strong. The book is carried by the villians Wint and Kidd! It's not the most action-packed book but its explained well and its interesting to read. The Spnagled Mob is cool and the diamond smuggling is a good way to change things a bit. But Jack Spang and Serrafimo Spang are not really hateable villians. The acme mud bath scene is entertaining, the car chase and when Bond goes to Spectreville is good, and the finale on the boat with Wint and Kidd is absolutely thrilling! Good read.
