I've written about Casino Royale over at my blog; link is below if you'd like to take a peek:<br /><br />http://briandrake88.blogspot.com/2009/08/ian-flemings-casino-royale-spy-story-to.htmlBrian Drakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01233187184688491057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5945802533317836555.post-44859331234539872212010-06-22T09:26:06.160-07:002010-06-22T09:26:06.160-07:00John I can't do the young Bond but you could r...John I can't do the young Bond but you could review them for the Archive's 007 Weekend - that would be great.Gary Dobbs/Jack Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10935686140719743351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5945802533317836555.post-13742859918746074042010-06-22T09:18:06.498-07:002010-06-22T09:18:06.498-07:00In another one of those strange Tainted Archive co...In another one of those strange Tainted Archive coincidences, I am two-thirds of the way through Moonraker at the moment as I picked up a compendium of the first six books in Chepstow earlier this year. <br />Apart from a number of typos - and a thinly disguised Captain Scarlet Angel Interceptor on the frontispiece art - this has been a very interesting read. I haven't opened any of the original books in years, and I am finding Moonraker a delightful period piece.<br />BTW: may I suggest you put aside your prejudices and give the Young Bond books a go? They are surprisngly adult (both sexually and in their use of violence) - I had serious misgivings about passing a few of them on to my 11 year old niece - and are extremely well written,giving a plausible background to the vengeful adult secret agent. Their villains too, are worthy additions to the Bond pantheon of super-villains and megalomaniacs.<br />Are you going to include Alan Moores' totally misogynist and somewhat psycho Bond from his 'The Dark Dossier' graphic novel from a few years back? If for nothing else, it contains one of the best ever Bond-girl name psstiches in Mina Harker's invented 'Oodles O'Quim'?<br />Dare I call the work a 'Bonde Dessinee'? No?

I had to sneak around anyway, as Mama had the horrors if she caught me reading one. I enjoyed them all as well as Colonel Sun when it arrived. <br /><br />I never was a huge fan of the Gardner or Benson novels, but I read them anyway, everything that was Bond. I liked Devil May Care better than a lot of folks did and not sure why they didn't.<br /><br />The Young Bonds I read and passed them to a more appropriate audience. I have the first two Moneypenny diaries, but haven't read them(I'll get to them. And the third).<br /><br />The John Pearson biography wasn't bad.<br /><br />Oh, and I even read The Killing Zone by Jim hatfield, the unauthorized Bond novel in which our favorite spy dies.<br /><br />Out of all I read, though, none had the effect on my young slef that the Flemings did.Randy Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16627907086811387527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5945802533317836555.post-89432752142680561012010-06-22T05:03:51.985-07:002010-06-22T05:03:51.985-07:00Fantastic!
