4.0 out of 5 stars An enjoyable Carribean adventure, 18 Jul 2006
As with all the Bond books; its better than the film of the same name, and as L&LD is one of the better Moore films that is saying something.

It is an enoyable romp, with Fleming touching on scenes of violence; the method used to try and kill bond at the end is far more imaganitive than the blood dripping above the sharks in the film; you will never think of a coral reef in the same light again!

However, if you enjoy all the voodoo in the film; don't expect the same in the text; whilst the story makes refernce to voodoo practices, there is little more on the subject.

Read it, suspend belief, and enjoy it (but read Casino Royale first - as that is a better story).

3.0 out of 5 stars Curious period piece, 31 Mar 2005
By A Customer
Well, I finished it so it couldn't have been that bad... But it is strangley lacking in any real suspense. That isn't true of all Bond novels: CASINO ROYALE has moments of real excitement. Fleming's eye for detail makes for some interesting period charm, but also clogs up the pace. All the characters are two-dimensional, and offensively so with the black characters. Indeed, hard to believe this didn't rate as a racist novel even at the time: at best it's very patronising, at worst pretty sickening.

Oh, and if you thought of Bond as the bon viveur par excellence, think again: all he'll eat in this novel is bacon and eggs!

4.0 out of 5 stars The name's Bond, Jessie Bond..., 4 Sep 2007
By Dr. S. T. Walker (Northern UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
So much better than the film in every respect (as just about always), although politically correct readers may be offended by Fleming's overt racism; for those not offended it's just toe-curlingly cringeworthy.

As a scuba diver and shark afficionado, I found Bond's character in this novel to be a bit of 'a big jessie', the part which deals with Bond's overwhelming apprehension before his scuba dive to Mr Big's hideout was highly amusing. And I love how he forces himself to cut down on smoking prior to this part of the mission.

That aside, it's a fine and enjoyable read.
