On Her Majesty's Secret Service
by Ian Fleming
This was probably one of the weakest Bond books. Fleming was trying to expand upon both his character and his ultimate nemesis Ernst Blofeld. Just like the movie this book includes Bond getting married and spends a bunch of time describing her, but the problem ultimately with the book is it's disjointed. It feels as though it were two different story lines trying hard to be pushed together. Where there is some good action and some humerous moments (this came a year after the first movie was premiered and Fleming mentions Ursula Andress as perfect for Bond and suddenly Bond is of Scottish origins {Could this be because of Sean Connery?}, and where his history was never explicitly mentioned, everything in the past mentioned seems as though he were English), this one ultimately falls a bit flat. Worth it if you're reading the series like I am though.
