Title: 007, Kitsch Style
Review: Oh, the decadent state of the James Bond books! This "novelization" seems to be written by a ten year old. Poorly written with no suspense, no thrills. A boring Bond.The thrilling actions of the film just don't translate effectively through Raymond Benson's boring narrative. There's also dumb humour that didn't appear in the film. Also, the description of love scenes is essentially kitsch. Yes, Benson tries to flesh out some characters, but the characterisations fall flat. The villain Carver, for example, is just another angry son who is bent on revenge--an age-old cliche.Save your brain power and stay away from this so-called novel.
