Goldeneye

Rating:
Summary: This is the mostly Well Detailed Book!
Review: Although I have seen The movie at least for 5 or 6 times, The book was pumped with more detailes, it explained every thing very well, John Gardner keeps the bond novels from drowing in the sea of reading.

Summary: The books are always "better" than the movies!
Review: Damn, that was a good book! For being a James Bond fan I sure say that the book "Goldeneye" was better than the movie "Goldeneye"! The book had an extra story line an parts that the movie left out. My birthday was yesterday, June 7, and my dad wanted me to help him pick out a good B-Day gift so I found the "Goldeneye" book by John E. Gardner. Believe me if I had to do it all over I would pick the same book.

Summary: Better Bond & Gardner
Review: John Gardner's screenplay approach to writing novels paid off once and it succeeds again here with "GoldenEye." This is his second novel based on the screenplay of a Bond film and he seems to have found his niche. He wrote all his Bond novels like detailed story outlines for film scripts. It seems only natural this approach would work when adapting a novel from an actual screenplay.

His first, "Licence to Kill," based on Richard Maibaum and Michael G. Wilson's story was not bad. It made interesting reading on an otherwise unsatisfactory film adding detail to scenes and venturing inside the head of the main character exploring his feelings and motivations.

In this novel he really gets into the mind of Bond. This is very evident in the opening chapter as Bond reflects on his assignment to penetrate the Soviet chemical warfare plant.

Summary: One of the best Bond books ever written.
Review: No,no,no no more foreplay. Finally another Bond novel that would not bore you to death. I think that the movie also perfectly compliments the book; it kept the same storyline for most of the movie and did not start to go into stuff that you never see or hear about as in almost every other Bond book. It takes from to the top of the Byelemore Dam straight into the chemical proccesing plant and the exciting runway part. that there was a big part of the book which leads into Janus as you will find out in the book. Bond is then forced into tracking down a stolen helicopter, Janus and the very beautiful Natalya Simoniva. In the path he must deal with Janus a man whom at one point in time trusted his life to. Again bond is asked the famouse question"Why are you so cold." the reply "It's what keeps me alive." and again"No, it's what keeps you alone.'' I also would reccomend Tommorow Never Dies By:Raymond Benson

Summary: John Gardner has done it again!
Review: Once Xenia worked for the KGB. But her new master is Janus, a powerful and ambitious Russian gang that no longer cares about ideology. Janus's ambitions are money and power; its normal business methods are theft and murder. And it has just acquired Goldeneye, a piece of high-tech space technology with the power to destroy or corrupt the West's financial markets. But Janus has understimated its most determined enemy... John Gardner has done it again. A great book to read and an cool Bond book. Buy this book!

Summary: Getting to the heart of things
Review: This was a great book! Not only did it have everything you would expect from a Bond novel,and it even tapped into social issues, like racism, which we saw when Trevelyan explains his betrayal of MI6 to James. Very interesting account and very next level. It also gives some extra detail that you don't get in the flick! Check it out today!
