After a narrow escape in Europe, Bond's capabilities are in question. M commits 007 to a dull mission on a Jamaican island, eager to keep the agent from another potential catastrophe. But not all is as it seems in the Caribbean, and Bond soon comes into contact with the henchmen of the illustrious Dr No. In his island lair, hiding behind the rare birds that flock to his land, he holds a thrilling and dangerous secret – clandestine operations which threaten the security of the world.

Dr Yes! 10 Mar 2009
Format:Hardcover
Ian Fleming's dynamic spy story may not have been his first James Bond novel (that honour goes to Casino Royale) but it was the first to be filmed, and as such it has remained in the public consciousness as 007's first real adventure. The daddy of all super-villains, Dr Julius No, is holed-up in his lair on Crab Key, a small island in the Caribbean. Bond is despatched by his boss `M' to the Caribbean, to investigate the disappearance of the its Secret Service representative, a friend of 007's, whose mysterious death may well be linked to Dr No's secret operations on Crab Key. The deadly game that No forces Bond to play, is vividly brought to life and styled so as to be extremely thrilling for the reader, whilst the soon-to-be template for all Bond girls - the exotically delicious `Honey Ryder' - adds spice to an adventure that is already excitingly different.
Fleming's genius lay in his ability to write simply, but with an almost fetishistic attention to detail; the reader experiences a delicious thrill when Bond lights another cigarette or describes the minutiae of his daily routine. It is this ability to prompt such a vicarious response in the reader that lifts Fleming's novels from their pulpy origins, and which has given them their longevity and their status' as classic slices of disposable fiction.

Dr. Not so good.
Having read the first five Bond's I had high hopes, but sadly this didn't live up to them. The novels are of their time (Cold War etc), but this one seems slightly dated. Read more

Great for the toilet!!!
It gave me diarrhoea! I use this book whenever I feel bunged up. It's so exciting. Fleming has outdone himself in Dr No.
