I think that the short stories of For Your Eyes Only were a refreshing addition to the Bond series. Each story was enjoyably short and made for good light reading. It provided a nice change of pace to a series full of books that follow the same page count and rhythm story after story. ( )

Five James Bond short stories I never new existed. All were written well and showed more of the human and extremely sexist Bond. ( )

Part of the reason I read For Your Eyes Only at this time was because I read that the Bond money making, er I mean the film making bunch are using one of the five short stories contained within for the next Bond Epic. Quantum of Solace is a nice, ironic piece of writing, but I can't wait to see what the Broccoli machine makes of it. Bond is only a very small part of it, a non-participant if you will. Somehow I don't see Mr. Craig as a non-participant in anything. ( )

Bond no. 8, 1960, short stories. The reader will find one or the other of the short stories in the movies again. ( )
