Product Information

I really enjoyed this Bond adventure. I loved the Japanese setting. It was almost like reading a guide book on Japan - well researched. I have always wanted to visit Japan - now I really want to go! As I'm 2 books away from the end of my Bond Quest. Starting to feel real sad. What will I do when there is no more... James Bond a cunoscut multe femei, dar nici una nu a fost precum Vivienne Michel: o frumusete cu un trecut senzual, dar cu un viitor infricosator, caci este urmarita de personaje terifiante:Sol Horror, un ucigas cu sadice gusturi erotice si Sluggs Morant-spin, demonic, mortal. Un singur om o poate salva pe incintatoarea Viviene,si acest om este, desigur, Agentul 007. Atunci cand Ernest Stavro Blofeld o ucide pe femeia cu care James Bond se casatoreste cu doar citeva ore in urma, celebrul personaj isi pierde cheful de viata si se transforma, din cel mai bun agent secret, intr-un adevarat pericol pentru colegii sai. Dar M hotareste sa-i mai dea o sansa si sa-l trimita undeva, departe de toate grijile si problemele obisnuite. Asa ca Bond pleaca intr-o misiune imposibila in Japonia.

I really enjoyed this book. I loved the messes poor Bond got into and the spectacular way he got out of them! Book Bond is much more satisfying than Film Bond, much more human, makes mistakes and doesn't get laid as much. I was a little unsure about the ending - bedding a lesbian. I was quite disapointed with poor Pussy. If she had been written now she would have been much stronger and not jumped into bed with him. But, as this book was written in the late 1950's, I guess it was of it's time. I do find it surprising how little the books have dated.cover with the text ‘NOW AN EXCITING NEW MOTION PICTURE’. Interestingly the Signet THUNDERBALL movie tie-in also used an alternate version of I was pleased to see how the books evolved and understand why Ian Fleming regretted "the spy who loved me" and asked to make a fully original story for the film.

This book proves just what a good writer Fleming is. I like the departure from his usual third person style of the Bond Books and the first person isn't even Bond, just a woman who meets him. Genius. His descriptions really set the scene and he is great at building up the tension. I also liked the 3 part structure in the book. Bond doesn't even appear until the third section - but you don't miss his presence. In fact, he shows up at just the right time! at that time. Signet later reprinted the four titles again several times throughout the next two decades until they lost the rights in the early 2000s. James Bond descopera ciudatul si ingrozitorul adevar despre Drax si operatiunea Moonraker. Un adevar care ar putea fi fatal pentru 007, pentru frumoasa lui insotitoare si pentru milioanele de oameni nevinovati. I was really enjoying this book, until the very cruel twist at the end. Poor Bond, having been on the whole journey with him from book 1, I really felt Mr Fleming could have allowed him one piece of happyness. But the journey to get there was very clever. So many strands that all tied up together nicely. Now I'm nearing the end of my Bond quest, I wish there were more...

I was quite sad to read about poor Quarrel tho. When reading Bond, you really get the impression that Mr Fleming has done lots of research and knows what he is writing about.
