Live and Let Die (James Bond Adventures)

Rating:
Summary: More Like 4 and a 1/2 Stars
Review: This book was incredible! It had the bad guy and the girl. Fleming described everything so well and the book had a great ending and it was action-packed throughout the entire thing. I couldn't put it down. This and From Russia With Love are the best! I'm reading them in order and I'm on the 6th book Dr. No. But this book has good fight scenes, Mr. Big is a great villian and the parts with Leiter and the shark. And, O yeah I forgot the scene in the bait warehouse!
One of the best books I've read in a long time!

Rating:
Summary: Not so good...
Review: This is the second book I read by Fleming (the first being "GOLDFINGER").And, for the second time, I fought to reach the end of the book, because I tought it to be boring. I prefer Clive Cussler and his Dirk Pitt adventures. (although Fleming has much more class)

Summary: Great, but it has its flaws
Review: This is the second James Bond book that I've read (the first being CASINO ROYALE). I thought that this book really lived up to the first one. I think that it was great, as good as CASINO ROYALE. But, like CASINO ROYALE, LIVE AND LET DIE had its flaws. In CASINO ROYALE; the villian, Le Chiffre, was killed about two-thirds into the novel but the real conclusion is at the end and is slightly dissapointing. In LIVE AND LET DIE; the villian, Mr. Big, dies at the end (I'll leave it up to the reader to see how) but his death is slightly unbelievable. All in all LIVE AND LET DIE had better characterizations than CASINO ROYALE, but the atmosphere isn't as rich. This book is a good read and I would recomend it to any fan of the James Bond movies - but read it with an open mind because the Bond in the books isn't the same as the Bond in the movies.
