Considered one of the weaker Bond novels by Fleming, but I am not sure why, as it seems of a piece with the other books. Reading this finally made me realize why Fleming's novels leave me so cold--all of the characters, including Bond, sound so goddamn fussy and dumb. There is nothing at all interesting about the conflict between Bond and Scaramanga, there is no drama, no stakes, no tension. And to be honest, that's basically all of the books in a nutshell. ( ) A morbid ending to the main series of bonds novels. At this point in his life Fleming was ill with cardiovascular disease and had been having several bouts of angina and was living with the consequences of ischaemic heart disease. His writing reflects that, and there is an atmosphere of both morbidity, and of tarnished regret that comes across in this novel. The original premise of Bonds versus the worlds, greatest assassin or the 1960s parlance, gunmen is an interesting one. of tarnished, regret that comes across in this novel. The original promoters of Bonds versus the worlds, greatest assassin or the 1960s parlance, gunmen is a interesting one. However, Skara manga is no shadows bond, and is people looking for a nemesis story will be sadly disappointed. It becomes particularly exciting certainly towards the end. It is with regret that I close the last of the bonds novels written by the original author. no reviews | add a review
