Rating: - Gap Filler
A nice little book of James Bond short stories, nothing very exciting but pleasing enough and it is always refreshing to read about Bond in the post war world and as he was originally conceived by Fleming, not exactly the superman of the films and all the bettter for it. If like me life has become so busy you have to snatch your reading in the gaps available this book works well. Enjoy

Rating: - classic bond
Every story in this book is a treat-classic Bond , Classic Flemming-it is worth buying purely for the short story "For your eyes only" .Bond hikes through the American mountains to shoot a cuban hit man-tense , exciting and compelling. I once read that we aren't really supposed to like Bond as a man but can't help be on his side-this story typifies this-highly recommended .

Of course it is better read IN CONTEXT... meaning they were written in the sixties... no cell phones etc.
A magnificent recompilation of the original works.
I must admit (having seen the films) I did not bother with the books for ... Read More

Rating: - Nothing like the film is going to be...
This is a rather strange collection of short stories by Ian Fleming which have been gathered together for the first time here. Some of them barely feature Bond at all and none of those that have been the titles of films bear any resemblance to those films. Many of the stories have appeared before in the collection "For your eyes only" so may be familiar already. It is reported that Fleming used the short story formula as a means of gaining commisions to magazines and based many of the stories on ... Read More
