Well after seeing the movie a while back I figured I would read Ian Fleming's first go of the famous character. A while back I had read "Moonraker" and was rather disappointed. The book just wasn't that well written (well I wasn't expecting alot mind you). I picked this book up at the airport and thought I'd give it another try. This was actually a pretty decent story and a bit tighter of a read. Even the movie sort of followed it. Overall a good read and some classic quotes attached (boy different time back in the day!)
"And then there was this pest of a girl. He signed. Women were for recreation. On a job, they got in the way and fogged things up with sex and hurt feelings and all the emotional baggage they carried around. One had to look out for them and take care of them. 'Bitch,' said Bond..."
"Bond drove it hard and well and with an almost sensual pleasure" -About his Bentley
"He wanted her cold and arrogant body. He wanted to see tears and desire in her remote blue eyes and to take the ropes of her black hair in his hands and bend her long body back under his." - Quote about Vesper, he obviously changed his mind about women from the first quote!
