TB is a strange novel for me. It's another one I revisit the least and tend to find its latter half a bit on the dull side (to be honest I have harsher words to say about the film). It's a good read, but it's not quite as thrilling as I feel it shou…

He's also got some stubble in all these pictures too. Compensating for a lack of chin I suspect. I also see the beginning of a monobrow forming... I take back all I said before. This man is clearly unsuitable and must not even be considered.

Personally, I think the series should lay off SPECTRE for a while now. There are far more interesting concepts for villains and the Craig series was far too referential anyway. I'm also of the opinion that the next Bond villain should be an origi…

For me, Bond just seems to have coincided with a lot in my life. I think I first watched AVTAK at around 9 years old, but only got into the series when I watched DN a year later and subsequently watched all the films in order. Around this same time …

FYEO is my favourite of Fleming's short story collections, and it's definitely got some great stuff. FAVTAK is a great little Bond adventure, Bond girl and all. It's a solid mystery with some great suspense. I'd really like to see it adapted some da…

True, but I'm not sure how much that was to do with 80s nostalgia than it was 'for the fans' in the sense they'd know which previous film that Aston Martin came from. Again, it's difficult using/referencing the 80s Bond movies to get younger view…

It's my least favourite Fleming work, but I would stress it's not a bad novel and has a lot of great moments. The opening is some of Fleming's best writing, and in isolation it's a chapter that gets to the heart of Bond as a man. The first part is a…

I think it was 9 for me too. There's a lot to like. Tiffany Case is one of Fleming's best female character in my opinion. There are some genuinely tense scenes such as Wint and Kidd killing the jockey, the climax in Spectreville. The opening alwa…

The opening certainly feels rather cinematic compared to Fleming's previous novels. I suspect the films had an impact. It would certainly explain (this is the sense I got when I last read it so take this with a grain of salt) Bond's more relaxed, ra…
