The Man with the Golden Gun: Book review
8With this, I've reviewed all the Ian Fleming James Bond book I own. I'm well aware that there is still 2 short stories, but as for the main series, the story has ended. It was quite a trip reading these again. It's not very often that I read a book more than once, but these felt worth it. Especially since I've reviewed several of them already. I'd say the best books of the series are Moonraker, On Her Majesties Secret Service, Dr. No, and You Only Live Twice. That is also the order I would rank them in as well. As for this one, I feel like it's a good enough send off, but I get the feeling that had Ian lived longer, there was going to be more adventures. Especially with From Russia with Love and Goldfinger becoming hits at the box office.
There is one comparison I missed between the movie and the book. As Bond and Mary are having Dinner together, Bond is admiring her dress, stating that doesn't have a lot of buttons. Mary then comments back saying "It's standard issue for this station". Both Bonds also theorize were the ending pill would be. Other than that though, I think I managed to say what I wanted to say in the video. I hope you will join me sometime in the future for an epic masterpiece.
