I felt so uncomfortable reading this book. The writing of this one really shows its age. The writing and language used is so archaic. The language is so racist, it was really hard to get through this one especially at the beginning but I pushed through as it’s such an iconic series. I love the characters, especially Solitaire. She holds so much power but is overlooked. I will continue with the series and read Moonraker.
I knew this was written in the 1950s but I draw the line at the N word

This is the second in the Bond series and once again finds Bond battling for the greater good against colourful villains and seducing beautiful women. While this is relatively well written and with plenty of twists, you know that all will be well and no matter how many times Bond gets himself captured he will escape in the end. The story itself has all the traditional elements with the Soviets using whatever means they can to bring America down with Britain and America working together against the tyranny of the Soviet Bloc (probably more relevant then than it is now…) as well as the usual exotic locations and complicated criminal goings-on. A fairly good read but not one that really adds a lot to the series, perfect for Bond aficionados though.
