Comments and Reviews


David Whiteley 7th Aug 2023		Added some pages from the first paper back edition of the first James Bond novel.



LouisSidney 25th Nov 2015		Cigarette, and benzedrine, too.



carey jeggs 25th Nov 2015		I only started reading Fleming about three years ago after reading an article by Philip Hensher lamenting the decline in the quality of mainstream thriller writing.He was praising Fleming, John Buchan and Nevil Shute at the expense of Dan Brown. Something particularly striking about this book is the line:- 'Bond lit his eightieth cigarette of the day.' There's no comment or mitigation offered which I found refreshing as it serves as an antidote to our modern pieties.
