A review by joemodz
The Man With the Golden Gun by Ian Fleming

3.0

Ian Fleming, creator of the James Bond novels (as well as Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang), is truly a trend setter. James Bond is not Roger Moore, although those movies were fun on their own. Bond is Connery and Craig-- violent and human. He has a double 0, but he also does not consider it a license to execute. He does not get into the social ills like John LeCarre, and he does not create a plot like Len Deighton, but he is the master creator of the genre.
Bonus: You can read it on the plane between New England and Texas.
