Title: Not THAT bad...but could have been better
Review: I did want to get this book, simply because it does contain the BASICS to all the Bond movies up to THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH. It covers plots, characters, women, gadgets, etc.It's rather rote with the facts, and there are a few inconsistencies (Fleming himself was a tad guilty in that respect), so it's not a real big deal...the genre and the "legend" does (and will) live on.I found the movie "tie-ins" products the most intriguing, as I remember buying some of those when they first came out (wish I still had them too). Heck, I practically grew up with James Bond.While you might not agree with the author's point of view in some cases, you will still find this volume a good study in not only the basic facts & figures of each movie, but production tidbits, revenue returned on each movie, and the like.ALthough I wouldn't pay the full retail price for this, when it's at a SALE price...it's a darn good bargain!
