Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Author Alastair Dougall has got a powerful weapon, 007 DK-style--and he doesn't charge a million a shot. The Secret World of 007 has been officially endorsed by the Bond film producers and the sheer wealth and breadth of information makes it a must for any self-respecting fan. Read up on all the assignments 007 has ever undertaken, from Dr. No to The World Is Not Enough and get inside the heads of his friends and adversaries with analysis of all the major characters and events from the missions. Be blown away by spectacular photographs and illustrations detailing the gadgets and vehicles 007 uses, the hideouts, plans and weapons of all the major villains and the thrilling battles and chases in which our man has been embroiled. To his eternal credit, Alastair Dougall has not passed up the chance of an in-depth study of Bond's hectic love life. And don't forget kids, it's all in pictures.

The style of writing and illustration is one of The Secret World of 007's major strengths. Each page consists of short, snappy bursts of text interspersed with photographs and illustrations, all of which combine to provide a wonderful insight into 007's career, his assignments, his friends, foes and lovers. Importantly for the Bond obsessive, the book also discusses and pictures a host of minor characters from the films--Stromberg's pilot Naomi (The Spy Who Loved Me) and Professor of Linguistics Inga Bergstrom (Tomorrow Never Dies) are just two of the bit-part characters featured who will satisfy the most avid fan's pursuit of Bond trivia. James Bond The Secret World of 007 gets a nod and a knowing raised eyebrow for Bond fans of all ages. --James Campbell --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.



Review

'Thanks to Dorling Kindersley's colourful, encyclopaedic approach, there is nothing you won't know about any of the movies as well as Bond's gadgets, girls, foes, and even clothes.' Good Book Guide

4.0 out of 5 stars understandable, 13 Sep 2000
By Mr. C. T. Brown (HUDDERSFIELD) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: James Bond: The Secret World of 007 (Hardcover)
This is one of the few books about James Bond that is very easy to understand for younger readers and serves as a great introduction to the world of James Bond for young or old alike. It is packed with colour illustrations and pictures throughout and has been very well put together in the same style as this publishers {Dorling Kindersley}other books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous Film Fantasy Fun for 007 Fans!, 25 Aug 2004
By Professor Donald Mitchell "Jesus Makes Me a P... (Boston) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)      
This review is from: James Bond: The Secret World of 007 (Hardcover)
Add more Bond to your life between movies!

This is the book you have been waiting for! It starts with the Bond films and adds to your pleasure of watching and recalling them in a remarkably effective way.

This book takes an in-depth look at the action, the gadgets, the props, and the lairs of the Bond films . . . spiced up with many of your favorite stills from those movies. You will see illustrations to cut away the surface of the devices, cars, attache cases, and belts to show you how Bond used them in the films. As you know, each film ends with a major attack on the bad guy's lair. These are lovingly drawn and detailed so you can see how the whole sequence took place. You will even get such basics as how to use judo illustrated!

The book begins with a perfunctory foreword by the current M. The next sections feature stills and drawn illustrations from the movies built around the themes of Bond's secret weapons, clothing, the women he loved, other MI6 personnel, Q, spies who worked for other governments, and Blofeld.

Next, you go into several pages on each move in order. These include outlines of the characters in the movies, the lairs of the villains, any special equipment used (every single wonderful car is there!), and the details of the ending attack scenes. In some cases, the opening and intermediate attack scenes are blocked out also. The movies covered include Dr. No, From Russia with Love, Goldfinger, Thunderball, You Only Live Twice, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, Diamonds Are Forever, Live and Let Die, The Man with the Golden Gun, The Spy Who Loved Me, Moonraker, For Your Eyes Only, Octopussy, A View to a Kill, The Living Daylights, Golden Eye, Tomorrow Never Dies, and The World Is Not Enough.

Finally, there is an appendix with all of the key movie credits so you can see who played what roles. This will be great for playing trivia games and amazing people over a glass of vintage claret!

The book will greatly expand your appreciation of the details in the films. It will also make them feel fresher than the way they appear on the television festivals of 17 Days of Bond (or whatever they are called -- Ian Fleming must turn in his grave).

After you have finished enjoying these wonderful pages, I suggest that you think about where it would be valuable and interesting for people in your family to you to tell them the details concerning something about your earlier years. They may find how you "made it to where you are" as fascinating as the Bond fans find this wonderful book about plots and movie-making.

Have a [Thunder] ball!
