"I read this many years ago, as a teenager, and remember being pleasantly surprised, especially as it is deifferent from the film and takes place in one night."
"It was different because of the P.O.V. switch. It was obviously a short story that was expanded - it would have been much more effective if it were half it length. A lot is forgive because the first part is pretty strong. In fact, once Bond finally arrives, the story is formulaic and weak."
"Over the summer I re-read all of the Ian Fleming James Bond books in order of their publication date(don't read any of the junk by others who followed Fleming after he died). Mostly I re-read the books because the re-issue paper-backs had such cool covers. The books are a one day read and absolutely a hoot."
