James Bond From Dr. No to Skyfall

James Boldman

I just got the Kindle version of Luke Quantrill's James Bond 50 years from Dr. No to Skyfall. My quick review? Save you money! It reads like a half finished 5th grader’s book report. The book is what I expected, a poor man’s James Bond Bedside Companion (by Raymond Benson). It really offered no insight or new information whatsoever. And coverage on Skyfall? His “indepth” chapter on that deftly explains in gripping detail how some fans liked the name, while others did not. He must have copied that right from a Bond forum. Oh, and at the height of hypocrisy, he has Daniel Craig on the cover, while bashing him incessantly inside the book.

Blofeld's Other Cat

I guess the book was made for a different target group, those who know close to nothing about James Bond.

By the way, writers don't usually have any say for the cover images unless they self publish their books.

Cool that they got a brand new pic though, must have cost them a bit I'd have thought? Cf that A View to A Kill book with the Connery cover.

That kind of books, I prefer to buy when the film is finished, and then re-edit the same with some extra comments and some pictures
