I was excited to finally read a new Bond novel, and have been looking forward to it. Unfortunately this latest Bond doesn't live up to past novels. It lacks depth and detail. Characters aren't developed enough in their story line. Not to mention a lack of even the smallest gadgetry. I know the 2 movies with Daniel Craig also lack these, but thats what Bond was always known for, and I love those movies. If you've ever read a novel about Dirk Pitt by Clive Cussler you couldn't help but make a comparison. This book could have been better and more interesting.
All good, thank you.

Finally we have someone to continue the Bond saga who has the Fleming feel for the genre. Well written, well paced and very timely. We were ready for this.
Love anything James Bond. I am about a third of the way thru the book and it is good! Had to have the books that go along with James Bond, I am only missing a few. Sebastian Faulks is writing as Ian Fleming and I think he did a good job!
