Customer Reviews

Better the the movies

This is a great book, and after reading this I watched all the movies again, and they can't even compare. If you enjoy James Bnd you will enoy this, I mean I am only eleven and I couldn't tare my eyes away. I enjoyed the action, suspense, romance, and even the detail, Iam Flemming is truly a master writer, and can only portay James Bond. The movies are nothing comapred to this, this is a must get.

Great collection...but with a correction

These three books together are, in some ways, the epitome of James Bond. However, I must correct one of the reviews. These books *are* sequential. These books are 5, 6, and 7 in the order that Fleming published them. The 8th was The Spy Who Loved Me and the 9th was Thunderball, the first book in the Blofeld trilogy. Aside from the 10th book, For Your Eyes Only (a collection of short stories), the story picks up in On Her Majesty's Secret Service and ends with You Only Live Twice. These three Blofeld books are available in the James Bond Omnibus, volume 2.

One of the Best Books I've ever bought

This is the greatest spy/thriller I have ever read. I wasunsure if this book would be a bit dated, to my shock it reads likeany modern book. My only problem with this book is that it took up so much of my time. If you like the movies you owe it to yourself to read it. Now how can I get my hands on Volume 2?

THE BEST 3 ADAPTATIONS TO FILM

THE 3 FILMS ADAPTED FROM THESE BOOKS ARE THE STANDOUTS IN AN OUTSTANDING SERIES. THE BOOKS PROVIDE DETAILS AND DESCRIPTIONS THAT GO BEYOND WHAT YOU SEE IN THE FILMS. THE IMAGES IN MR. FLEMINGS STORIES ARE EXCEPTIONAL. FROM THE OVER THE TOP PREMISS OF GOLDFINGER TO THE SIMPLE STORY LINE OF FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE THESE BOOKS ARE A MUST READ FOR ANY BOND FAN.

This is good. Very good.

I was blown out of the proverbial water by this book. I have been a James Bond movie fan ever since I was even, but waited until now to acquaint myself with the excellant book series. Ian RFleming knows how to reach out, grasp your heart and squeeze!! Every single scene is tense with suspence and intrigue, so that the reader really has no chance of ever putting the book down at all!! People will cheat themselves by ignoring this book.
