Battling epically with The Spy Who Loved Me for the title of Worst Bond Novel, this is the work of an author who just didn't care any more. The plot is sieve-like, the prose stilted and awkward and the characters lacking that crucial second dimension of Fleming heroes and villains. Bond didn't deserve to go out on such a bum note.  TheBeerNut | Jul 25, 2008 |  Fleming's work is probably best known from Sean Connery's, Roger Moore's, et al, work in the films. Be that as it may, there is a stilting (stifling?) quality about Fleming's prose that doesn't make it edible to this Yankee. C'est beaucoup de la hauteur et grandiose par le Britain pour moi. (  ) andyray | Jun 8, 2008 | Bond no. 12, 1966; short stories ( ) bookswamp | Mar 2, 2008 | This one was definitely a bit of a disappointment after coming off of the fantastic You Only Live Twice, but I expected as much so I wasn't surprised by it at all. That said, two of favorite characters were back - Felix Leiter and Mary Goodnight. Part of my lack of enjoyment of this one probably had to do with it being set in Jamaica, as I never seem to like those as much as the other ones. That said, I only have one more until I am finished with Fleming's James Bond series. Woe, woe is me. (  ) cinesnail88 | Dec 23, 2007 | A golden Gun, a Jamaican caper, a spy who has been brainwashed, but after recovering, he gets sent on a final, suicidal mission. This was the first James Bond book I read, and I had a good introduction to 007's world. (  ) Jakeofalltrades | Aug 24, 2007 |  no reviews | add a review
