Review: James Bond – My Long and Eventful Search for his Father
This is a Kindle single, really a short insider’s memoir, about the early days of the James Bond franchise. It’s primarily about the translation from novels to movies in the 1960’s and 70’s.
There’s lots of insider goodness – telling anecdotes and personal remembrances – that I’m sure will delight detailed fans. I’m not a deep fan, so I actually felt a little adrift in the thing. I felt like I was expected to recognize some of the names as they came on stage, but other that Ian Fleming and Sean Connery, I didn’t.
Even coming in cold like that, this was a diverting enough read, but I think a bigger fan would get more out of it.
