Title: BRITISH SNOOZER
Review: Maybe if I were British I could appreciate the style of John Gardner. He never ceases to completely bore me. I have read all the Ian Fleming's and though they are dated and quirky and sometimes corny I had a great time with them, so it's unfair to criticize the less dramatic British style of novel. But frankly I can't believe this franchise continued under Gardner. I made sure to give myself sufficient time between them, taking four years to read the first five novels. That's it. I quit. "For Special Services" is as close as I could get to be entertained, and "Role of Honor" the least enjoyable. After my struggle to get through 80 percent of "Nobody Lives Forever" I am selling off the other nine I own. Life is too short. For anyone agreeing with me I would absolutely recommend at least the first three Raymond Benson 007 books. Read them in order. Each one gets better. After a seven year absence I'm ready to start these again.
