"V cool. Again, nothing like the film - no space stations, cable-car battles or Jaws. Just boring old Dover and a rocket, but it's marvellous. Quaintly dated rather than amusingly so like some of the others I've read this year, he doesn't even get the girl!
Although she is called Gala Brand, and they do survive a cliff falling on them, so it's maintain a certain level of ridiculousness I expect from Bond."
"What can I say about Ian Fleming and James Bond. Not a lot. If you like any of the James Bond books by Fleming then it's my guess that you will like the rest. Solid, consistantly well written, these books are great fun, showing a depth and character to Bond that even Sean Connery couldn't pull off (and he was my favourite of all the Bonds).
This outing puts him against the slightly implausible Moonraker rocket. And somehow in the midst of all that, we can still find room to put Bond at a card table for another very well written and tense game of cards. Excellent stuff."
"Classic Bond in the first half of the book with a card-playing showdown with Hugo Drax set amid the paranoia of a threat of a nuclear war in the years immediately after WWII. The second half of the book covers familiar territory that Austin Powers does better."
"Blackstone Audiobook. This is one of my favorite James Bond Books. It is very different from the movie, but the story is compelling. It is also one of the few where james Bond's womanizing is not a part of the story."
