Okay, so the plot was a little too convoluted. Shut up! It's Bond. Yeah, not Fleming but still riveting in its own fashioned? What? Don't judge me. I liked it! I did. Not wonderful, but I already read War and Peace, and I knew what I was getting into.
And it's Bond. So shut your pie hole and pass the Ritz crackers.

Not bad. Very close in style to the books by Ian Fleming. Reasonable story.

The best of the three Gardner Bonds I've read so far.

This is the second time I’ve read this and to be honest the first time I got really confused. I didn’t understand most of the plot and only really caught onto a couple of important events in the book. However, with full focus the second time, I was able to slowly go through it and understand most of it. The second time I enjoyed it although it took a lot of concentration to try and follow the storyline. So all I have to say is this book as well as other James Bond books by this author require a lot of concentration!

Weak outing by Gardner. Feels kind of like Bond but a very poor effort.
