Rating: Summary: As good as the screen version. Review: In this novel Bond fights SPECTRE the most arch, ruthless, and deadly foe he'll ever face. Also, he is teamed up probably with the best bond girl ever.
Rating: Summary: James Bond Rules! Review: It was a good book read it
Rating: Summary: Excellent as always Review: One of the most humorous openings to a bond novel, well written with great pacing, characterisation and plotting.
Rating: Summary: James Bond saves the world from nuclear disaster Review: Secret Agent 007 first encounters SPECTRE in this exciting tropical adventure. This spy novel reads like a mystery as Bond gradually puts together the pieces of SPECTRE's plot to hold the world hostage. As always, the tale takes place in exotic locations and is filled with beautiful women and thrilling action. Fleming includes another tension-filled casino showdown, too. In addition, the titles in the James Bond Classic Library are inexpensive but very nice-looking hardcover volumes
Rating: Summary: Operation "Thunderball" Review: SPECTRE, an international crime syndicate, kidnaps a NATO bomber armed with nuclear warheads. The United States President and British Prime Minister soon receive the ransom note: 280 million dollars must be paid within one week, or the bombs will explode somewhere in the Western Hemisphere. The FBI, CIA, Scotland Yard, Interpol, and NATO intelligence assign every available agent-including, of course, James Bond. Sent to the Bahamas to search for the bombs, Bond turns detective as the clock ticks. Plunge with Bond into the suspense-filled operation code-name "Thunderball". Once again Ian Fleming did it again with another great book! A great book for 007 fans to read. Buy this book when it is back in stock!
Rating: Summary: One of My least favorite Bond books Review: This book introduces 007 to SPECTRE! Which is entertaining but the book was jsut boring to me. The beginning at Shrublands is good and so is describing the plot and when Blofeld and SPECTRE have the meeting, after that when Bond is in Nassau the book just gets boring! There's no action. It's still not a bad book and Largo makes a great and Domino a great girl but something was just missing in this one. Not bad but if you're looking for a real good Bond book read Doctor No or Live and Let Die!
Rating: Summary: A Fast Moving Adventure Review: This book is action from end to end, from Bond's feud with Count Lippe to the final showdown with Largo. This is probably the fastest paced of Fleming's books possibly due to the fact that it's based on a screenplay.

Rating: Summary: Another great novel. Review: This novel is a great edition to the 007 series and contains the introduction to SPECTRE and its leader, Blofeld. After a NATO bomber armed with two nuclear warheads vanishes, the world is soon held for ransom by the evil organization SPECTRE. James Bond is assigned to Nassau and works with his old friend Felix Leiter as they find themselves on the trail of the missing bombs. A very entertaining book and ranks pretty highly among From Russia With Love and On Her Majesty's Secret Service.
