A review by smcscot
Thunderball by Ian Fleming

3.0

This one drug on a bit more than I would have liked, however it did introduce to the world SPECTRE which is the organization which they are going to focus on in the next few movies, as well as introducing Blofeld which is also going to be the main enemy (I guess that makes sense because Blofeld is the leader/creator of SPECTRE). Wonderfully campy and a lot of good action at the end, not to mention the best "Bond Girl" to date, but the action dropped off about half way through and they sat around deciding what to do next for nearly a hundred pages out of 250 page book. Could have been a bit more character oriented rather than plot oriented. Still an awesome series though.
