Book Reviews of the Thunderball (James Bond Novels)
Customer Review: Wonderful fiction that is still relevant today!
Summary: 4 Stars
This is the first of the three James Bond novels that feature the nefarious Ernst Blofield and Spectre as the villains. The plot is ingenious, and still has relevance for today's world, alas. This novel proceeds at a brisk pace throughout, and always succeeds in holding the reader's interest.
Author Ian Fleming has a spare, lean style of writing that I find very appealing. Unlike today's often bloated thousand-plus page novels, "Thunderball," in common with all of Fleming's work, manages to tell a fairly complicated and always-interesting story in as few words as possible. This style of writing maintains the mystery of what really makes the enigmatic James Bond tick, and of course, this question is half of the fun of these excellent spy novels.
Highly recommended.
