Featured review
Appeals to those who would be Bond
No real plots, no real characters; just a cad getting his way in everything, because a cad can get his way with anything if he has a team of fiction writers on his side. Series is full of contrived, cliche, paper-thin vignettes in which Fleming is supposedly charming and witty, yet instead of showing us how this might be, the lazy writers simply tell us by having everything come up aces.
A note for those of you who would be Bond: grabbing a woman in a hallway, refusing to let her pass and forcing yourself on her while saying "tell me you don't want this" won't get you the girl. It will only get you an indictment.
