3.0 out of 5 stars Fast paced but too far fetched, 15 Jul 2008
This review is from: The Facts of Death (James Bond Spy Series) (Paperback)
To start with I was enjoying the story with plenty of action and gadgets but as I read on it became a bit tiresome they way Bond just kept getting captured, escapes, captured, escapes again and again. Sometimes it felt more Austin Powers then Ian Fleming as the villians kept having Bond at gun point or tied up and then he unrealistically escapes. The villians were not really believable as they were too mad and incompedent to be taken seriously. If you simply want loads of action, gadgets, villians and their lairs and missiles and you couldn't care about realism then its fine but I prefere more gritty believable action.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Words are Not Enough!!, 12 Mar 2001
By S. Worner "fivetrax" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The Facts of Death MUST be made into a film. The plot is superb and the deadly virus scenario is something new for Bond. Tremendous stuff. I await the latest Bond novel 'Never Dream of Dying' eagerly. Thanks Raymond
