Book Reviews of The Spy Who Loved Me (James Bond Novels)
Book Review: A minor classic. James Bond with a twist!
Summary: 5 Stars
I did not expect to like this novel. It is told in the first person by a woman who encounters James Bond. Not a promising perspective. But actually, this novel works splendidly, and we get an opportunity to get insight into the elusive James Bond character.
Fleming's writing is as crisp as ever in this novel, and if you can forgive a slightly slow start, this piece rewards the reader with what becomes a fast-paced and thoughtful story. I thoroughly enjoyed this one, and once I got into it, I could not put it down until I finished it. Highly recommended.
Book Review: The Spy Who Loved Me: Yes! We Love You Very Much!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is only the 5th Bond Book that I have read, but it is definately one of the best! It takes a different turn by making the whole book through the eyes of the Bond girl, Vivienne Michel. I also loved that it was plain and simple. No bio-war fare, or fancy villain plans, just two gangsters who want insurance money. Taking away the fancy plot made it easier to focus on the characters and the fantastic writing. So, BUY THIS BOOK! IT's GREAT! (even throughout the soap-opra-ish first half.)Book Review: Surprisingly great novel
Summary: 5 Stars
When I found out that the content of this novel was entirely different from the content of the Moore flick, I decided to read the novel, and boy, am I glad I did. This is a moving, exciting, totally absorbing book, with terrific characterization and surprising tenderness. I couldn't have asked for a better "light" read, and I recommend it to just about anybody.Book Review: Woman's Point of View
Summary: 5 Stars
"The Spy Who Loved Me" is a very good book. My kids got me to read this one. This really is a different kind of James Bond story. It's told from a woman's point of view from the first page to the last. Ian Fleming is a much better author than I had imagined. Very good reading.Book Review: The Spy Who Loved Me
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a different take on the Bond Novel. Questions will arise as to whether Flemming actually wrote this book. I enjoyed comparing the writing style to past works, and I believe it is his writing. Regardless, enjoy this charged view from the other side of the martini.
