So good, almost real.

I picked this book up for a dime at a library sale, thinking it would be fun to read on my six hour plane flight. As with most of us who grew up with the 007 movies, we forgot that they started out as excellent novels by Ian Fleming. The way the author interweaves fact and ficton, James & Ian, one suspends reality and can actually believe this is a true to life biography - it is that good. Having said that, it is a British book, which for many Yanks may be too dry, to devoid of actual scenes of blood & gore. It is excellent literature and is recommended for anyone who wants to read a good book and, at the same time, fill in the blanks about our favorite spy, 007.

Inside 007

This book is well worth chasing down for any fan of 007, especially those of Ian Fleming. Pearson uses the bits and pieces of Bond's personal history available in Fleming's books to construct an authentic feeling biography which details how Bond got his physical and emotional scars. Pearson gives some depth to Bond and gives us insight into why 007 behaves as he does. As a bonus, Bond's history is bracketed in the "present" giving the reader one version of what might have happened to Bond had he not been the ageless agent of fiction and film that he remains today. The future of several classic bond women is also revealed with Bond sailing off with one of his former flames. Overall, a good read and entertaining. Probably the second best post-Fleming Bond book after Markham's "Colonel Sun"

a MUST OWN FOR ANY BOND FAN

WELL-WRITTEN BIOGRAPHY AS TOLD BY THE REAL JAMES BOND. ANSWERS THOSE QUESTIONS YOU'VE ALWAYS WONDERED ABOUT. WORTH SCOURING THOSE DUSTY SHELVES , IF YOU'RE LUCKY, MARKHAM'S (AMIS) COLONEL SUN WILL BE HIDDEN AWAY THERE TOO.

Extremely well written. A must read for Bond followers.

This book is a must read for anyone who is a true James Bond aficionado. It follows James from his youth through his latter years with Her Majesty's Secret Service, thereby, providing an extraordinary insight into Bond and what drives him. This book would make a GREAT film and would satisfy those critics who desire "more character development" in the films. I have a copy in very good condition and it is a permanent part of my library.
