"I was actually surprised that this book was written by Ian Fleming. Much better than the Dick Van Dyke movie made from it, very loosely made form it. Well I guess that goes with the rest of the movies made form his books. The resemblance between Ian Fleming's James Bond and the movie version is passing at best."
"What a lot of fun this was for listening and how extremely different it is from the film! Many aspects are the same: the candy factory, the magic car but no trip to a country where children are banned! Plus the mother isn't dead! Yeah for moms!!"
"So much better than the movie (not to mention different)! And the reader (Andrew Sachs) was great. This is probably better when listened to than when read! Young boys especially should love it."
